September 1, 201114 yr I'm having serious problems with FS2Crew Voice Commander. I am getting crash to desktop at random points during the flight. It can occur when changing view points to turn, triggering FO flows (any), or clicking on the CFG button or dragging one of the FS2Crew interfaces to reposition. I run FS9 on Windows XP using a Intel Quad-Core processor running at 2394mhz, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500. I'm also using a Microsoft LifeChat LX-3000 headset. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing both FS2Crew, and also the aircraft, and using a different headset, but nothing has worked so far. The suggestion I have had so far is to upgrade to Windows 7 - which is currently not an option. Plus this software is shown as XP compatible, and upgrading to Windows 7 is a mighty expensive way to get software tht should run on XP to work! Any other help would be appreciated. The other option is to bin FS2Crew Voice Commander for now, which is frankly a waste of money. Thanks Andy
September 1, 201114 yr Commercial Member Hi Andy, Did you install SP1? http://www.fs2crew.com/cart/pages/FS2Crew%3A-737-Voice-Commander-Updates.html Win 7 is a better OS than XP as it handles memory better, but we have a large number of XP users also who have no problems with the software. Can you use "Event Viewer"... I think XP may have that... to get more details. Also, do "not" resize the windows... perhaps when you're dragging them around you're resizing them... sometimes resizing can cause issues. Also, try making a flight in Africa to be away from any 3rd party AI/Scenery, etc, to help rule out that stuff. Crashes can be caused by a 1000 different things. Best, B.

September 2, 201114 yr Author Hi Bryan I installed SP1 as it came with the zip file when I bought the package. I'm currently doing a tour of Africa and as you rightly point out, there is no add-on scenery etc to cause conflicts. I'm being careful not to resize windows, so that's not a cause. I'll run the event viewer and see what that comes up with. Unfortunately, as I said, Win7 is not an option at present sadly. I can only think it must be a conflict somewhere. I'll also triple check the key assignments to make sure that's not an issue. I'll get back to you, in the meantime, if any other XP users have had similar issues and got round them, I'd be greatful if you could post it here. Thanks Andy
September 6, 201114 yr Author Can't find event viewer. I've uninstalled it cos it's causing me to spend 3-4 hours plus trying to do a 1 hour flight. I don't know what's causing the crashes, but unless a solution can be found, it seems that I've wasted my money
September 7, 201114 yr Commercial Member Hi, Please email me via the Contact page on the FS2Crew website. We'll try to locate the issue via Teamviewer. Have you applied all the OOM (out of memory) fixes discussed in the Avsim general forum? We have a large number of users for this product, so what it is it's fixable. Cheers, B.
