I've never gotten this, usually I get told some generic thing in my event log that tells me nothing at all. This time heres what I got:Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14Faulting module name: acontain.dll, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb56Exception code: 0xc0000005Fault offset: 0x00023a6dFaulting process id: 0x173cFaulting application start time: 0x01cc4c9f564baf4eFaulting application path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exeFaulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\acontain.dllReport Id: 0358e444-b896-11e0-99a8-782bcb98c079

I don´t know whether it has anything to do with this issue but I can see that you´ve installed FSX inside the Program Files (x86) folder. That´s not that good. Far to much restrictions by windows for that folder. It´s better you install FSX outside of this in it´s dedicated folder.

Installing FS in Program Files and keeping UAC enabled is mostly an inconvenience rather than a cause for problems. As long as you run any program or module that needs to write directly into the FS folder with elevated permissions, it's not going to be a problem. FS itself adheres to the guidelines, and does not write into its folder (this is why, for example the FSX.cfg file is stored in C:\user... instead of the FSX folder itself).Acontain.dll seems to be some kind of definition file/container for SimObjects. A third party aircraft or AI traffic addon that you have recently installed might be causing the error. You could try un-installing any such addon. Then again, a complete reinstall of FSX (make sure to manually delete any files left by the uninstallation process) would probably also fix it.

So to get this straight, I should perhaps install it in something like this "C:\FSX" rather than the Program files (x86) folder ?

Yes, that is correct.

This is an automatic message.
