FSX on Windows 7 Issues...can someone please help to resolve.?

I recently installed Windows Flight Simulator X on Windows 7.

The P.C. is a 32-bit operating system with: 2.20 GHz and 1.00GB RAM.

I am an aircraft enthusiast and recently brought Flight Simulator.

I did all the installation set-up as per advised by the computer and now, every time I click, the following message pops up: " The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect."

I'm not very up on computers and i'm not prepared to spend quantities of money by dragging it to the chaps at PCWorld.

Thanks.

    It thinks you asked for the picture to be laid out on two screens, but it finds you don't have the necessary hardware. Try installing again - this tme make sure you do not ask for side-by-side.
