September 6, 201312 yr HI Folks - I recently updated my Windows 7 64 bit os with Windows 7 SP1. When I try to start FSX I get a message that a problem was encounteredf and it can't start FSX. No further details are given. I googled the probelm and found many others had the same problem, but couldn't find a good solution. Has anyone here had or heard of the problem and how to fix it? Thanks Howard
September 10, 201312 yr No, I haven't. And SP1 doesn't corrupt anything. You should always have your Windows up to date. SP1 was released a long time ago, you should've gotten it back then. Try reinstalling FSX AFTER installing SP1. i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
September 17, 201312 yr The thing about Windows 7 is that it is way ahead of it's time when you consider a program like FSX. You need to ensure every single Windows 7 update is applied before installing FSX. Uninstall FSX as Diego recommends and you need to follow this guide to the letter. http://www.simforums.com/forums/the-fsx-computer-system-the-bible-by-nickn_topic46211.html It will help immensely. Good luck! Dylan Charles "The aircraft G-limits are only there in case there is another flight by that particular airplane. If subsequent flights do not appear likely, there are no G-limits."
