Hi, I'm having a problem lately about when I start a free flight, after it finishes the loading 5 seconds later the cursor turned into a blue ring and it dont respond. I need to use the Task Manger to shup down the program and when I do that theres a dialog or windows saying Fatal Error Occurred, and this is the detail in it.Problem signature:Problem Event Name: APPCRASHApplication Name: fsx.exeApplication Version: 10.0.61637.0Application Timestamp: 46fadb14Fault Module Name: xfire_toucan_44598.dllFault Module Version: 1.0.0.44598Fault Module Timestamp: 4e97494cException Code: c0000005Exception Offset: 0009ac9bOS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3Locale ID: 1054Additional information about the problem:LCID: 1054It happens to every aircraft even the default aircraft.Last thing I did Install the CLS's A330 ,A340 and the A340 500/600.

Can only offer general recommendations, but they may help:

1. Uninstall whatever you installed since FSX was running OK.
2. Enable Windows Update to make sure your MSVC and .NET runtimes are all up-to-date.

The crash was caused by xfire, a chat program. You need to turn it off when flying with FSX as it is not compatible or it was not installed properly. I would uninstall xfire completely, run ccleaner or some other free registry system cleaner, then reinstall it.Best regards,Jim

As Jim said, it's the Toucan chat program. Not sure how/why I missed it.Cheers,- jahman.
