Fatal Error on FSX start-up

[wanabflyer 53]

First let me say thank you Adi for sharing your knowledge on this gem.

 

I do however, have a problem since installing SFX from your package you put together. When starting up FSX almost every time, I get a Fatal Error and the program immediately crashes with the following info:

 

Problem signature:

Application Version: 10.0.61637.0

OS Version: 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.48

Additional information about the problem:

My specs are:

FSX/DX9

Your help on this would be greatly appreciated, as my software knowledge is pretty limited.

Hi, did you uncheck anti-aliasing from within fsx display options?

Hi, did you uncheck anti-aliasing from within fsx display options?

Yes, I followed your instructions exactly as read.

Do you any compatibility settings your fsx shortcut?

Do you any compatibility settings your fsx shortcut?

No, it is exactly as originally placed when I installed FSX + Acceleration.

Ok, do you run fsx as an administrator?

[wanabflyer 53]

Ok, do you run fsx as an administrator?

Yes, all my apps are. I also have my FSX on a dedicated hard drive, I am running MSE antivirus with FSX and all associated apps excluded from automatic scans. My User Account settings are also off.

 

Edit: fsui.dll was named in the error details, could this have anything to do with it? Just a question from a complete dummy when it comes to these problems.

[adi518 73]

Ok. I want you to backup your fsx.cfg, then delete it and see if fsx works.

[wanabflyer 53]

OK, will have to try tomorrow, am not at my FSX rig till then. Just bare in mind though: this does not happen constantly, sometimes FSX fires up normally with no problems and I can go fly.

 

I do however almost always get the FSX crash on exit, something I haven't seen for a while until now.

 

Look's awesome when it lets me fly by the way, so I really want this to work.

Do you have the UIAutomationCore.dll in your fsx root?

[wanabflyer 53]

Do you have the UIAutomationCore.dll in your fsx root?

Yes.

[adi518 73]

Ok, what I want you to do is, go to your exe.xml and turn off all add-ons that start with fsx. See if we can catch it that way.

Hi Adi, I have spent some time and done the following:

 

Rebuilt my FSX .cfg

 

Disabled APPS in exe XML that start with FSX. (ONLY ONE = Couatl)

 

Made several short flights and several exits and restarts of FSX, but still get the odd Fatal Error. (with or without XML edit)

 

One thing I forgot to mention was that I had FSX included in my Razer Game Booster, which I use for my other game, so I removed FSX and my crash on exit (that started after I installed SFX) has stopped.

 

luckily this is only sporadic, so I can still use SFX and your setup, which I really like and in my case, has given me a couple or so more FPS..

Sorry for taking long with my reply, been a tad busy. Sounds like you nailed it! no error at all? what do you mean sporadic?

 

This is great, helps me build the FAQ page! slowly, but surely.

This is a bit of a weird one, what I mean is, just out of the blue one time when I go to start up FSX it will give me that fatal error pop-up message at the bottom right corner of the task bar a few seconds after double clicking my desktop shortcut to FSX (no different if I go directly to the exe in my FSX root). Then The FSX splash screen goes away. However, if I simply try again, FSX starts up and everything is normal.

 

After several hours looking at this, I notice that this seems to be on my first attempt of starting FSX immediately after booting up my rig. This morning it did not happen even then and after 3 FSX start ups - no problem.
