December 3, 201510 yr Can someone please remind me how to update and/or repair ActiveX? I keep getting runtime 429 error messages when launching FSX and P3D Most google searches lead to 'snake oil' fixes! Tried dxdiag and it shows 'no errors' Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
December 5, 201510 yr Most programs that require ActiveX will search your system for ActiveX and make sure it is up-to-date. Your video card drivers will do that too. I know programs like P3D and PMDG check and install it if required. If you have no errors when employing dxdiag, then I would suspect something else. Microsoft Visuals and Microsoft.net programs deploy run time error messages whenever there is a problem with the installation of the product. If you had 429 error messages launching FSX and P3D, then it appears you have a problem with the Microsoft Visual C++2011. Best regards, Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

Best regards, Thanks Jim After trying everything I could in the way of 'fixes', I eventually gave up and rolled back Windows & P3D to an earlier Acronis backup. The error is gone, but now I've got to reinstall a whole bunch of stuff:-( Ain't ya gotta just love this flight sim stuff;-) Windows 10 (x64) - X-Plane 11 - M/B: Asus ROG Maximus IX Hero - CPU: i7 7700k (@5.0GHz) - RAM: 32Gb Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 @ 3200MHz - Video: GTX1080ti - Cooling: Custom water loop (EK 140 Revo D5 pump/res combo, EK EVO CPU block, EK XE360 Rad)
December 5, 201510 yr Hi Phil, We sure do tweak and reinstall and tweak our systems alot. Actually I think I have learned more about computer systems than flight simulators since when I first started flight simming. I'm sure you have too! I have almost gone a year without reinstalling everything and I have a feeling that when I upgrade to Windows 10, I'll be doing it again. Good luck with your reinstalls!
