The solution is to delete one of the files in your fs9 directory. read the last few posts here:

WOW, thanks to everyone who has helped! Your amazing, Mike747 posted this and it works!

Go into your FS2004 main folder and delete "OLEACC.DLL". It is either in the main folder or the modules folder. Then it should work.

THANX AGAIN! END OF THREAD

Has anyone found out where the OLEACC.DLL comes from in the first place and how it finds its way into either of the two folders mentioned?

Well, oleacc.dll was intended to supply code for the accessibility features of Windows 98 and later. Apparently other programs use it for other reasons too, and since FS9 does unusual things to the display (like many games) I guess this could be part of it.

What I'm not sure about is why it causes a problem. As a guess, and only a guess, I'd say that something (I know IE7 beta does this) has replaced it with a different and incompatible version. But as to how it gets into the FS folders? Beats me.
