Computer crashes when selecting the new 737

Featured Replies

The Problem FSX launches normally and any of the default aircraft can be chosen. However when I choose any one of the new 737’s, FSX crashes with the message that “Windows has stopped working” How I tried to solve the problem I faithfully followed the PMDG instructions for uninstalling and installing again. The only exception was that there was no FSX file in C:\Users\Cliff\AppData\Local\Microsoft\FSX And there was no Flight Simulator X Files in C:\Users\Cliff\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files My computer An Apple iMac 27 inch2.7 GHzQuod-Core Intel Core i52560 x 1440 resolution8 GB memoryITB hard driveAMD Radeon HD 6770M with 512 MB“Windows 7” 32 bit I’m running FSX in a dedicated Windows 7 Partition Cliff Harris Help would be appreciated.

Try letting FSX rebuild your fsx.cfg file.

"Try letting FSX rebuild the fsx.cfg file". Thanks for the suggestion. May I ask how I do that? Cliff Harris

Cliff Harris

Yes you may. Sorry, only teasing. Apparently you delete it (once you have found it), and the next time you start FSX it builds itself a new one automatically. I was getting fatal errors after starting to use that ******* bloke's tweaked config file. I reverted to my saved original but I could have let FSX build a new one.

I can find several .cfg files but not one called fsx.cfg. and I'd be obliged if you would point me in the right direction. Could it be in a folder rather in the long list of files? And may I ask another question? Some while back before avsim changed it's site design (for the better) I used to be able to view all my past postings in one place. If that facility is still available where is it to be found? Cliff

I think it's users/you/appdata/roaming/fsx/fsx.cfg Though I'm in OSX at the moment so can't check. Someone else will tell you or google it. Good luck mate.

cliffardus Hi. Could you see event log in the > Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Event Viewer>Windows Logs > Applications , right after FSX crashes. There should be error log on top, see what path it refers to. And post it here of course :)

Only fsx or Complete Windows? If only fsx is stopping you can try this.http://forum.avsim.net/topic/343443-crash-to-desktop-when-loading-ngx-my-solution-x52-flight-sysstem/page__fromsearch__1I had the same Problem.

Read Page 22 of Intro manual. Someone else kindly pointed this out to me....
