Default FSX visualfx.dll error


A bit of background about my problem.
I have FSX w/Accel install on my system.
System specs have been posted.
I found this site doing a google search on my problem.
I use a RAID setup with the os on c and fsx is on d. The drive is
partition.
I was getting a problem with smoke and dust effects showing as blocks.
Checking through the various flight sim web sites, the general solution
was to do a repair of fsx to solve the problem. I did that and the
problem did go away for a time. It came back up about a week ago, so I
did the same thing, a repair of fsx and acceleration today. Problem
compounded.
Other than that, a complete un-install/re-install. Not something I
truely want to. For those of you who have fsx, you understand why.

When I go to start fsx I get the below error msg.
