Help needed please, FS9 will not start

Featured Replies

Apologies if this has already been mentioned in previous topics but I have just encountered a problem which needs urgent attention, I am not sure what I have done but when I go to start FS9 I get the message: C:\..........\fs9.exe is not a valid Win32 application It was working fine yesterday but having said that I have been installing a lot of add on scenery and various files today which may have something to do with it. The question is, how do I go about getting the problem sorted without having to do yet another clean install? Thanks for any help anyone may be able to offer!

Are you using a 32 or 64bit system? perhaps one of the changes modified your FS9.exe. If your are on 64 bit have you tried to configure the 4gb patch again? http://ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php Regards

Thanks for your help guys, for some strange reason it started working again fine. I have no idea what that was all about but at least it's ok now!

Spook, (trying to be Opa-like in my response, god rest his really missed soul) Check your PMs. Did it ever occur to you that there was a reason this had to be taken privately? And check your PMs.
