When I fly and close out the program, I always get the message about it having problems closing so I click ok to close the program to clear the message.  When I go to reopen the program it just sit there on the first screen.  When I go into the task manager, it states FSX is not responding ... the only way I can get it to open again is to reboot the system.  Any idea what is happening and how to correct the situation?  Thanks for reading my post. :mellow:

Possibly a dll doesn't get unloaded properly after closing FSX. It happened to me too some time ago (due to the LVLD.dll). I closed FSX, it remained in the task manager for 10-15 minutes (with a memory usage of 20-30k) and during this time, it couldn't be started again. Even forcing to close the FSX.exe in the task manager didn't work, only rebooting the system.

You need to download and run AppCrashView as requested in the AVSIM CTD Guide located to the right of this forum under Hot Spots.  The guide also provides you with guidance on reviewing your Event Viewer to see if there were any events generated when the shutdown occurred.  There are a lot of possibilities with the description you provided.

 

Best regards,

I downloaded the AppCrashView ... there is a lot of crashes listed from FSX but I'm not sure what to do about it.  I'm reading over the pdf, but so far I'm not getting it. :blink:

Click on the last AppCrashView report.  Copy the details of the crash and then come back here and paste the results here so we can see what happened.

 

Best regards,
