OK...I had what appeared to be a memory controller failure on my motherboard. Intermittent blue screens, programs freezing, computer restarting for no reason. Tried doing some troubleshooting, swapped out some DIMMs, inspected some sockets, no joy. Worked for about three weeks trying figure it out and finally gave up. Picked up new mobo, CPU, RAM, and GPU from NewEgg. Everything will be here Friday.

 

Now, when I first bought the 737-NGX I remember that I had some problems with the install and ended up uninstalling FSX and reinstalling from scratch. Trying to remember exactly what I did and I'm hoping somebody can help me. My recollection is that I installed FSX, ran it to the control panel, installed SP 1, ran it to the control panel, installed SP2, ran that to the control panel, then I installed the PMDG add on. After doing that and installing those service packs I still had problems with the sim locking up and remember that I read on here somewhere about moving a file from one folder to another. That's really the part I can't remember and can't seem to find with a search. Also, there was an online optimizer that I can't seem to locate anymore.

 

If someone can point me to the name of the file and where I need to move it and the online optimizer I'd really appreciate it. Having a blazing fast CPU won't help me much if the program won't run.

 

Thanks,

Mike

You mean this?

Mr Jude has given you the link for a dll file that should be put in your FSX Folder, here is the link for the online optimizer: http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html, good luck!

And that's a wrap. Thank you guys.

Well, maybe not a wrap. I've got FSX and 737NGX installed, ran the optimizer, moved UIautomationcore.dll to the FSX root, and the sim comes up and runs. Didn't have time to fly yesterday so I'll have to see if it will run for a long period without crashing but I did run into a problem. Two actually. When I hit esc and then ended the flight, I crashed to desktop and had the fatal error message come up. We'll see if that was a coincidence when I play some more. Also, I couldn't get the fps limiter to run. Unpack the program and GUI and try to run it but it simply flases onscreen then disappears. Back to the search function.

What I did after a fresh install once to fix that crash on exit was to go into the settings first, the. Change something and then exit. Worked like a charm. It was like my sim was trying to do something in the background and couldn't and it caused all my crash on exits.
