DF734 Run-time error

[John_Tavendale 453]

Hey folks,I reinstalled the DF734 today, but I'm continually getting the following error:Run-time Error: 55File Not Found.It happens when I load the FMC. Does anyone have any suggestions? I've installed, reinstalled many times today without luck.TIA. :)

I think the 'Run-time Error 55' is a VB error, maybe the FMC needs the VB5 or 6 run-time files.It is a long while since I installed the DF734 and the patch so can't be too sure, all I can say is I do not have a problem with it, OS is Win98SE.If I find anything more positive before someone else posts I will come back.Rgds

oops, it's actuall Run-time error 53 :-lol

Just done a search on the DF forum John but without much luck :-( Only a couple of msgs, one to do with Text-O-Matic and the other deals with the FMC.The suggestion for that was a complete uninstall of DF734 and make sure all files are deleted, then reinstall and apply the patch making sure you select the correct version of FS.I would also try installing the VB run-time files for V5 and V6 see if that helps; they should be available from MS web site.I don't suppose the error says which file it can't find?

I've done that, but I'll try again :)Ah no it didn't. I wish it did, it would help a lot ;)

Hi John,This from the PSS forum, same runtime error with the Dash 8, and a fix for that a/c. I hope it helps you.http://forums.avsim.com/dcboard.php?az=sho...ing_type=searchGood luck,Bruce.

Hi John,I don't understand what the .cfg changes are. but thought as the error was the same that maybe a cfg edit might help you too. Maybe not...Good luck,Bruce.

Hi John,A couple of last shots.1) Have you tried the DF2000 forum for help?2) Based on Bruce's suggestion I wonder if it's a faulty or missing cfg file in the 737 Flight Management Computer folder?If it is a missing file the file count from my working FMC:-Main FMC folder- 2 files, the FMC exe V2.02 & the FMC.cfg fileData folder - 2 sub folders + 11 files2 sub folders are 'Sid' (1,249 files) & 'Star' (958 files)Help folder 26 filesImages folder, 9 files & 1 sub folder 'Buttons' with 323 filesTutorials folder, 3 files + 1 sub folder 'wavs' (53 files)HTH
