January 31, 201214 yr That was covered already. I do believe the issue is somewhere around in the ballpark of this, though.I don't see a DirectX update mentioned anywhere up-thread. edit: OK, I see it's in the link.Also, the reason that removing SP2 solves the problem is that SP2 (and also Acceleration) is the only version of FSX that requires hardware vertex shader support, and if the DX/driver combination doesn't detect/report the proper level of shader support, this error occurs.One more note...if DX9 hasn't been updated recently, then it's a good idea to update it and reinstall the video driver afterwards.

January 31, 201214 yr Try this one for luck: Go to Windows Update and make sure you got the latest versions of DirectX, MSVC and .NET Runtimes.Also if FSX won't start with SP2, maybe it might with Acceleration?Cheers,- jahman.
January 31, 201214 yr Author Thanks Guys for everybodys help. I think I'm gonna do the magical format c: and see what's going on. That should helpThanks again for your help Laszlo Meszaros
February 1, 201214 yr xamil,Do not run FSX after installing SP1. Install SP2 first. That is how I avoid the problem.Good luck
February 1, 201214 yr Do not run FSX after installing SP1. Install SP2 firstThat's the opposite of what NickN says.Cheers,- jahman.
February 1, 201214 yr jahman, That's the opposite of what NickN says.It is not necessary to run FSX before SP2 is installed. MS will tell you to do so if it is necessary.When the first time FSX is running, it will detect the hardware and generate several files. If you run it before the SP2 is installed, those files could cause a conflict with SP2 and generate a warning that xamil and I have encountered. So I recommend him not to run FSX until SP2 is installed. Edited February 1, 201214 yr by dhwang
February 1, 201214 yr xamil,One more thing. Make sure you use nvidia inspector to edit FSX profile AFTER successfully running FSX with SP2 installed. I recommend the following steps:1. Install FSX2. Install SP13. Install SP24. Run FSX5. Run nvidia inspectorGood luck
February 1, 201214 yr Author Hm thanks for the tip. Will try it tonight before I reinstall win7 and everything. Laszlo Meszaros

February 1, 201214 yr Author have you tried the fsx discs with the repair mode?I did that once and it helpedmay be a shut in the dark but who knows.Yes that was my first thought when I received this message..Wish that it would be that easy Edited February 1, 201214 yr by xamil Laszlo Meszaros
February 2, 201214 yr xamil,Do you have a secondary monitor connected? Disable it from the NV Control Panel.
February 2, 201214 yr Author Yes i have a Samsung HD telly next to my monitor. And for years this combo was working without any issues Laszlo Meszaros
February 2, 201214 yr You don't happen to have a logitech USB headset by any chance do you? I think this was the root cause of sp2p failing for meSent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk Louise London, UK
February 2, 201214 yr Author You don't happen to have a logitech USB headset by any chance do you? I think this was the root cause of sp2p failing for meSent from my GT-I9100 using TapatalkActually I do have a logitech USB headset, but it is connected to my laptop which is networked with my pc and I tried several reinstall of fsx when my laptop was switched off. Also I have logitech g940. If that's the problem I will throw that sh*t out of my window..Unfortunately I have to go to a business trip tomorrow for a week, but will report back next weekend what's the story with this logitech thing. I can see myself thinking of what yoke should I buy... Edited February 3, 201214 yr by xamil Laszlo Meszaros
