Jonny,Go to the Windows Event Viewer, Windows Logs, Application.Get the "details" (module) on what caused the crash.Scroll down the long list until you see !Error (in red).

In your FS9.cfg check the entries in the DISPLAY section. If you have more than one card listed delete the one you removed after backing up this .cfg file in another folder. FS might be using the wrong card driver. Just a guess.

Did you check it "this time" or assume it was the same as previously?The first line of the details may say e.g. FS9 failedDown 10 lines it might say e.g. XX aircraft "gauge" file failed <<< that is what we need to know!

Hi,I've done 3 or 4 flights since my new card. all the same. I've just recreated my fs9.cfg (made a difference) so will see what the outcome is in about 2 hours (as it always seems to happen round about TOD???)thanksjon

Hi people,Guess what? this issue has reared its head again. This time, everytime I delete fs9.cfg, it does not fix it.Come on, some one must have had "Error creating child window"?? Its a proper error message box so it must be programmed by somebody...Jon.
