#1 has Windows 6.1 (7600/2)

#2 has Windows 6.1 (7601/2) Service Pack 1

 

Why the difference?  Has the new (#1) been updated?

No, I use each disk that came with the PC. Just the version of windows that shipped with it.... 

To quote myself and to emphasize it:

 

 

Because in your log.txt of #1is written:

 

 

So obviously planecommand is the problem here, and if you provide us with the "planecommand.log", maybe we find a reason why planecommand crashes.

 

it also happens with the Carenado scroll wheel plugin, and carenado are very helpful, but they too cant seem to tell me why it works on one PC and not the other......

You still should post the log file of the other plugin.

Lanch the X Plane 10 installer and choose the update tab.

 

It will add missing files, or replace corrupted files.

I think this is the problem.

 

Check if the file planecommand.settings exists. If not, copy it over from your working PC.

 

If the file exists, check the file permission (i.e. if you're allowed to read and write this file). While you're at it, check all other file permissions as well.

Tried that all ready, did not work.

 

Also made EVERYTHING in the whole folder full permissions, still does not work. i am tearing my hair out! 

All fixed, i needed windows 7 SP1 installed, thats what I was missing!

 

Also a massive shout out to user 

sqrt(-1)

 

Over at the .org. he remoted in and was a massive help!

Great!!

 

Seldom if ever do OS updates and patches cause problems with existing programs and installations.  Most of us disable automatic OS updates so our simming is not interrupted at inconvenient times while flying.  I always check and install updates once a week for Windows.  Don't forget to check for them!

I am really surprised about this. Maybe it's the plugin requiring SP.  funny

 

But hey it's working now enjoy 

All other things being equal, it seemed to be the logical choice.

 

Congratulations!
