FSX frequently stops working in flight

Sometimes, actually rather frequently, FSX freezes then gets a "fatal error" and is forced to close. This is incredibly frustrating, considering it happens probably every other time I run FSX, and it happens mid-flight and sometimes near the end. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit, FSX Gold (Deluxe + Acceleration), and FSInn, but I'm not sure what's causing the crash.

 

If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

file goes in your main FSX folder

 

if after doing this you still get crashes, look up the error message again and itll tell you what else is wrong
