FSX Freezing & Crashing

Featured Replies

Hi all. First of all, I realize there are a lot of threads about this already, but I have read practically everyone, and A ) We don't have the same problem, or B ) What people have suggested doesn't work, so I figured I'd start a thread explaining my problem, hardware etc.

 

I got FSX up and running, with REX essentials. I was flying, and on final it would just freeze. It's frustrating as !@#* because I just sat for like an hour, looking forward to landing. I close that flight, start a new one, and yet again, it freezes and crashes. I had this problem on my old computer, so I did the same steps I conducted before. I dowloaded the UIautomationcore.dll, put it in the root folder. I then went to http://www.venetubo.com/fsx.html, tweaked my fsx.cfg, replaced with old one hoping this would fix it, it didn't. I also have it running as Admin & XP SP2

 

Now my problem is at the splash screen on startup, it will just sit there and become unresponsive, I have to close it down through task manager everytime. I read up on this, people suggested deleting the fsx.cfg, and letting the Sim recreate a new one. I did that; didn't work. Posts also suggested to just wait a bit for it to start. Well normally, my FSX starts up in like 5 seconds, I waited 15 minutes and nothing happend. It's getting out of hand, I just want to play fsx :( Here is my hardware:

 

Windows 7 64-Bit OS

Intel core i5 3570k @ 3.4ghz ( not overclocked )

Geforce GTX 660 2gb

8gb DDR3 Ram

FSX w/ Acceleration (SP2) (Installed directly on the C: drive)

REX Essentials w/ freeware addon aircraft

 

Thanks for whatever support you can guys can give, I appreciate it.
