Guys, you may have noticed my earlier posts about having a problem loading the the 744 - it's not gone way.Now it's bordering on plane crazy! I've now reinstalled Windows XP and FSX THREE times. This last time with the correct version of the SP3 update - seems I was running a beta version.Now, all I have installed is FSX, the PMDG MD-11 and the 744. Nothing else!.MD-11 is fine. 744 will not load gauges and sometimes will CTD. The load manager also crashes.Windows is FULLY up to date and I've downloaded and installed all relevant things, such as C++, dot Net and DirextX etc.Anyone got any more ideas please?EDIT: Correct me if I'm wrong - I'm guessing..... the DLL file - it would not launch when 'double clicked' if it was corrupt?

double clicking the dll?? I never tried that, I wouldn't expect it to do anything because they are not executables. Anyway, you might need help with a validation issue if you don't see the display units. I assume the installer okay'ed the validation but still that is the symptom so please drop pmdg support an email and be sure to get a response.

Hi DanThe dll is active code. Like any other code, if there was a glitch in it, I would expect an error message. Normally, IE will try to 'run' it when double clicked.I have emailed the Guys. Hopefully will get a non-auto response soon. I'm wondering if i've got a 'duff' installer. I just can't see how else i'd get the same errors from three separate windows installations.Always the same..... couldn't have happend at a worse time for me as I've got some time for simming.

I was correct - a bad installer. I just found another one. A different name and a difference in the file size - 108Mb vs 111MbThank you for at least keeping me company during my 744 'outage' :(

Have you tried contacting PMDG support via Email?And of course the product was originally purchased and downloaded from PMDG, right? :(

errrr..... Did you read my post?Or did they cross?

Sorry about that mate...I have a short attention span as you can tell! I get half way through a post and I don't read the rest :( Anyhow, hopefully your problem gets solved.

Phil,Just to confirm, you are all sorted out after a new installer file correct?
