G3d.dll refers to your video card drivers. You should uninstall/reinstall your video card drivers first. Exception code: 0xc0000005 is a common error and is generated by a memory access violation. It could be caused by excessive overclocking or a bad overclock. It could be bad memory modules. G3d.dll errors are pretty common in FSX/FS9 and most of the problems have been resolved by reinstalling the video card drivers. If that doesn't work, then I would Google the exception code above and look for possible solutions from Microsoft MVP's. Hope this helps.Best regards,Jim
