Hi guys,

 

 

I have had a google and am really really stuck here.

 

 

Suddenly my FSX closes every single time a few seconds after the splash screen.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

 

1) I have inserted the msfsx acceration disc and clicked on repair

 

2) I have deleted both FSX.cfg and logbook files

 

 

 

Any help, would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Alex

Did you do or install anything before this started to happen?

Check event viewer to see what is going on.

Event viewer doesn't show up with any errors, it simply closes, no error message

 

 

EDIT

 

I get this

 

The Desktop Window Manager was unable to start because composition was disabled by a running application

Are you using Windows 7? If so, try the reliability monitor.

Hi Alex,

 

My guess (as good as anybody else's) is the problem is in the simprop.dll. I googled simprop.dll and found some interesting results.

 

The first one is from answers.microsoft.com. Seven people found it usefull. Perhaps it's useful to you?

 

HERE IS THE FIX: You may have to take ownership of the files if windows stops you from deleting the file. Open CMD prompt and right click to run as administrator and then type in exactly as below substituting your windows login username where it says username:

takeown /f C:\Windows\System32\uiautomationcore.dll

cacls C:\Windows\System32\uiautomationcore.dll /G username:F

takeown /f C:\Windows\Syswow64\uiautomationcore.dll

cacls C:\Windows\Syswow64\uiautomationcore.dll /G username:F

Now you can just navigate to your syswow64 and system32 folders in windows explorer and after backing up the UIautomationcore.dll files just delete them from your computer. (Remember to delete the Uiatomationcore.dll file in ure FSX folder also if you installed it as the fix in other posts.)

I solved my own problem as follows:1- I deleted FSX {Logbook.bin) located in C:UsersnameDocumentsFlight Simulator X Files.2- renamed Fsx.cfg file .3- Run FSX repair.4- Installed SP15- Run repair FSX Acceleration Expansion pack6- Reboot PCFSX started

Actually I uninstalled Acceleration first and the SDK... which I don't even know why i had it installed. And Flight Sim started up!!! Hoorah!!

Do you have Acceleration? If so, perhaps you could you try uninstalling that to see if it helps? I can send you a copy of my simprop.dll if you like. Mine is:

Thanks for your help, I did all of these before the post..

 

 

 

I have found the issue, it is EZDOK. Now, I have just reinstalled FSX with no issues. just installed EZdok again, and I get a "fsx process not found handle 0"

 

 

Uninstalling EZdok, comes with a warning, 'this dll is apparently no longer used, do you want to remove it". After that FSX will no longer boot up

Can you paste your exe.xml here, Alex? It's in the same folder as your fsx.cfg. Thanks.

Sure.

 

I am missing the ezdok entry in the FSX dll file [no matter how many times i reinstall EZDOK] can someone paste that code for me asap?

 

Here is my DLL and EXE

Add this, Alex:-

 

 

<Launch.Addon>

<Name>EZdok camera addon</Name>

<Disabled>false</Disabled>

<Path>C:\Program Files (x86)\EZCA\EZCA.exe</Path>

</Launch.Addon>

 

- under any </Launch.Addon> in your exe.xml.

 

There are no issues with your dll.xml.

 

OK? :smile:

 

If you want to disable EZCA, just make the <Disabled>false</Disabled> into

 

<Disabled>True</Disabled>

Like This>? Still gives me issues

Yep - that's what it should look like.. - except that you've turned it off by making it <Disabled>True</Disabled>

 

For EZCA to work it has to be enabled, and the word "Disabled" in the line <Disabled>True</Disabled> actually means "Do you want EZCA disabled?" - and the answer should be "False", if you want it to run, right? Well, you have it as "True", that's all, so it won't work until you change it back - OK? :smile:

I only changed it to True as a test, but it was only like that for moments

Thanks for your help, I did all of these before the post..

 

Sorry Alex. But I'm glad to read you're on the right track getting this solved.
