Hello all

 

Since yesterday every time I start FSX  (it allowes me to set a flight up but when I hit fly now) it crashes and gives me the following message

 

Problem signature:

Problem Event Name: APPCRASH

Application Name: fsx.exe

Application Version: 10.0.61472.0

Application Timestamp: 475e17d3

Fault Module Name: g2d.dll

Additional Information 4: 686b80d14c6be7494511e7ba3684634

 

Issue is I have no idea what it means.

 

I have not installed anything but did remove 'TheSims3' from the PC. Could that have removed something I needed?

 

Thanks for any help )

Ps. FSC crashes no matter which aircraft I load :( Oh and I am running windows 7 at the moment

Hi Kimberly,

 

delete the fsx.cfg file after making a backup, to see that FSX is working again (when there is no fsx.cfg FSX will make a new one)

 

fsx.cfg is in your C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX directory

If all else fails use the  restore option to the last known date of  the last time it had worked

This is an automatic message.

The following is from the AVSIM CTD Guide:

 

G2D.dll - The g2d.dll is indicated as the faulting module in the crash report. This module handles plain text messages, like the frame rate counter and those other plain text messages you see periodically while running FSX and the plain text words in the FSX Menu, like the words Options, View, etc.  There may be something corrupted in your dll.xml which loads menu items. It has been fixed by rebuilding the FSX.cfg (deleting or renaming the FSX.cfg and then restarting FSX).  Some others have fixed this problem by uninstalling/reinstalling the video card drivers or going back to a previous version.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,
