I have found that I get sound.dll crashes with PMDG products if I minimize FSX some times to like use my browser and such stuff. It seems to mess PMDG somehow, or maybe I just run out of memory when I do that (although I have highest end computer)... Anyway, no sound.dll crash when I do not switch FSX to backround/minimize it at all... With every other addon, including Ifly 737, Level D 767, Captain Sim products and loads of others theres no similar problems, so its either PMDG bug or just PMDG using more power than any of these other addons.//edit: Or maybe it was PMDGsounds.dll, not sure. Anyway some sound related problems...

Hey another new one :) :) :) :)

 

There is something wrong with your machine and/or setup. I don't know how I can expain it to you: I have FSX running since months without crashes. Not one. Always doing complete flights, a long flights usually, 2hrs+. Overflying often many other addon airports and sceneries. 220GB install.

Do a Google search on "Exception Code C0000005" and you'll see this is a common problem in other software as well, not just FSX. It is also an error coming from the CPU not the program, although the program trips it. One of the suggested causes is Overclocking, so try to turn that down if not off (If you are Over clocking), and see what that gets you!

I don't know how I can expain it to you: I've been running this system for 2 YEARS!!! playing EVERY GAME OUT THERE! ZERO crashes. (yes, zero). Only FSX crashes.

There is nothing wrong with my system. I'm not a PC noob, I know what I'm doing. My system has not been overclocked. I can't even OC my CPU

Yesterday I had a FSX crash, or rather it refused to start. I checked the error events log and according to the log the problem was Accu-feel sound.dll. I uninstalled Accu-feel and FSX started up. But no sound! My Creative SB X-Fi drivers were crashed. After reinstall all is in order again. Don't get me wrong - I have no idea if Accu-feel is the cause or just like FSX was hit by the error deep inside the computer somewhere. It can be something completely different, like memory hick-up or electricity chocks.

 

My 2 cents,

Word Not Allowed,

 

Do you think the free version of Slimdrivers works as well as the paid automated one?

I know, I read most of your posts about this. Didn't mean any disrespect, nor that you can't maintain your system, nor that you are a PC noob. I never implied any of those.

Only that if you are getting errors, something else is wrong, because it obviously is.

 

If you take how many people are successfully running FSX, for months and years, and yours has unexplained crashes, you have a problem. The problem lies in bad hardware or bad software, excluded clean FSX (of course it can be FSX incl addons, something bad in it too).

 

If you are so sure that your machine is good and everything else is good, I would start suspecting FSX and your W7 installation. But, don't blame it onto the FSX code, as that apparently, in stock condition, is not a problem. Never was. Otherwise, might just as well leave FSX be and go playing other games. Again, all ment in a friendly way.

 

Good luck!

If you have startup problem: do you have LevelD installed? LevelD, no matter how many times or FSX installations I installed it, and on how many W7 configurations, it has always caused some weird problems, including occasional startup problems of FSX. Also those AccuFeel errors were due to LevelD. Since I disabled it (removed the DLLs from xml data and moved the files manually), I have no more problems.

I don't know, but I wouldn't pay for it.

No, only in FS9 and Win XP on another computer. No problems with it. I have PMDG 736 - 739 NGX, REX 2.0+OD, UTX, AirHauler, AccuFeel, GSX and TrackIr 5 in my FSX-rig. I recently tried to install PFE (upgraded to latest ver.) I used in FS9, but could not get the hotkeys to work. I think maybe it can have something to do with it. Besides, I only had the startproblem once and solved it with a complete reinstall of sounddrivers.

OK, it was worth a shot. I had problems previously, since I removed LDS, no more.
