Strange error message in WINDOWS7 + FS9

[FLY737]

Last weekend I have installed WINDOWS7 Home Premium and all the Flight Simulator stuff, everytime I close FS9 now I get the following error message:



It says: Microsoft Flight Simulator is not working anymore
The Program is not working properly due to a problem. The program will be closed and you will be noticed, if a solution is available.

Strange, isn't it? Never had this before with WINDOWS XP PRO ...

I've had that happen in XP Pro if I leave the sim running for several hours after completing a flight. Like five or more hours.

While it is annoying, I wouldn't worry too much about it if it only happens when you shut down FS9. I am guessing that there may be a compatibility problem between Win7 and FS9 -- I can't recall seeing such a thing, but it is worth a search.
