I can't help with the multi-colored springs, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with UT2. Can you send a screenshot of it?

However, I can tell you how to prevent UT2 from loading. Open your C:\Users\<your_name>\ AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ EXE.xml in Notepad. It should look something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1252"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>exe.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
  <Launch.Addon>
  </Launch.Addon>
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <ManualLoad>False</ManualLoad>
    <Name>UT2</Name>
    <Path>C:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\\Flight One Software\Ultimate Traffic 2\UT2Services.exe</Path>
    <NewConsole>True</NewConsole>
  </Launch.Addon>
</SimBase.Document>

Change "False" that I've marked in red to "True" and save.

From now on, every time you run FSX you will be given the option to load UT2_Services.exe, or not. It takes no extra time.

Very Important. Save a backup copy of EXE.xml in case you do something wrong.

Please use the correct forum for your questions. This is the forum for Classic UT. You should be using the one for UT2 Licensed Users. It makes it easier for users to search.

Actually, your request to find a a way to prevent UT2 from running has been asked before, and answered the same.

Hello it turns out that my "REX Overdrive Software Program" was competing with another software which was creating the "springs" Thanks for your help. Where can I download the "Power Pack" that everyone is talking about?

Thanks no I have to learn how to do something else.........maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks!
