APPCRASH on selecting "Fly Now"

Hi,

Recently been having CTD fatal error on trying to load a flight, typically the event error is:-

 

Problem signature:

I have tried new scenery and FSX cfg install but with no result, could this be a corrupted fx effect?

 

Spec is:-

Intel i5-2500

MSI 277A-G45 M/B

8GB Ram

Nvidea GTX550TI

500GB Hybrid SSD Hard drive (main), secondary 500GB HDD

OCZ 750 watt PSU

Coolmaster DM-690 case

PS, re-copied my Effects folder from my backup files with same result, Fatal error crash on selecting flight.

Try this link - http://forum.avsim.net/topic/356475-visualfxdll-crash/. Look for something new you just installed. Maybe you moved some scenery folders?

 

Best regards,

Thanks for the link, Jim, this problem all started after I bought and installed Addon Converter X by FlightSimTools to convert the large FS9 files I had on my backup drive. A few months ago I had a main drive failure on my old rig and after rebuilding it decided to convert to Windows 7 64bit and change to FSX Delux with Acceleration because I've lost 35% of my old FS9 data (teach me to backup regulary)!

Up to now I've followed all the advice in the threads including:-

Putting default Scenery and FSX cfgs in place

Userinterface\Situations= FSX.cfg

Carried out maintenance repair with FSX discs

Deleted all addon scenery and simobject airplane files

 

I now have a fatal error crash on selecting FSX, don't even reach the Free Flight screen

 

Error is now:-

The fault module has changed to simprop.dll

 

Any ideas?

Cured this problem by doing a complete FSX un-install, registry and file clean with CCleaner. Re-install plus adding a Vista 32bit UIAutomationCore.dll to FSX. Have now got the task of re-installing everything and testing.
