1.Hit [B] to update your altimeter setting.
2. Turn on your Pitot heat(just in case your getting ice).
3. Ensure you don't have Pitot/static system failures programed.
4. Make sure you're reading the altimeter correctly.

PS I suggest you get FS 2004, it's much better and only $20 at Best Buy.
Traineei figured out what was wrong. i had it set on the metric system. and im probably getting fsx for christmas.
