Ok, I run three versions of FS9, each with its own installation of FsP2004 and do so without stability or functional issues in any of them. However, this is in Win-7. That
said you're still not giving us much to work with...
Where is your FS9 installed? As an older program it will default into the Windows Program Files folder and in Win-7 and later versions of Windows, that is the worst
possible location for a program that needs to rewrite portions of itself as does Fs9 and FsP2004. Using the default location will probably cause endless grief with FS
and adding FsP to the problem practically guarantees that it becomes unsolvable.
Enable the compatibility mode for Win-XP and administrator privileges for both programs. Make certain your pathway to FS is in the main drive directory as in:
C:\Flight Simulator\...
Other users have reported issues with FS9 and Win-10, see over at the California Classics forum here:

Obviously stick with the demo (identical to the unlocked version except for the starting airport restriction as I recall) until the technical issues are sorted out Although
some people seem to have experienced no issues using Win-10 it is always possible that there is something in your specific situation or setup that is the root cause of
your problems. I have had FsP2004 since shortly after it released and if I have learned anything in the last decade, it's that the vast majority of problems are generated
by us, the users and not the program. This may be less accurate now thanks to compatibility with new operating systems but when a program as simple and stable as
FsP2004 gives such grief, the cause is likely related to something you're doing or the environment in which you're trying to run it.
Good Luck,
