Disabling problem reporting seems to help as well (the popup that shows an application needs to close / looking for solution, when it crashes).
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Action Center\Problem Reporting Settings > Never check
The popup still appears but if you ignore it, it normally stops showing the "crashed" dimmed background after a few seconds and returns to normal.
Also clicking continue instead of quit on the ms.net crashed popup appears to help, but othertimes it needs a reboot.
.....................
I've tested this again with problem reporting enabled and it appears that this makes "crashes" unrecoverable! , its looking for a solution and forces FSX to close, period.
With problem reporting disabled, whilst the popup still appears (removable via registry edits - Google it) if you ignore it, FSX recovers in a few seconds and doesn't need to close.
"So it looks like in most cases (on my system at least) FSX hasn't actually crashed, its windows that thinks its crashed (like its timed out too early running a piece of code, FSX being CPU hungry) then has no solution, so forces closure."
