Help needed. I have FSX, FS9, FSFly, and Rise of Flight in a seperate SSD in a computer running Window 10 Pro 64 bit. When I try to run FSX, FS( or FSFly I get the splash screens followed by Fatal Error Occurred then MS FSX has stopped working correctly, Close program. The error logs show the Faulting Application to be FSX.exe or FS9  or FSFly then Faulting Module HID.dll in all cases.

Rise of Flight runs perfectly however. I even upgradred my graphics card from a Radeon HD4890 to a GTX 960 in case that was causing the problem.

I've been running flight sims since the days of Chuck Yeager and this is the first time I've had problems can anyone please help before I tear my remaining hair out?

Run SFC /scannow - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929833

 

Hopefully this will fix the problem.

 

Best regards,

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply, ran Scannow and no integrity violations found. This problem seems to have occurred after I downloaded a Las Vegas scenery package as I'm sure I saw a reference to a Microsoft software piracy file during attempts to solve my problems. It just seems strange that Rise of Flight works perfectly.

Rise of Flight is a sim released back in 2009 (?) and updated frequently.  FSX got updated once in 2007.

 

The HID.dll is a system file and does not belong to FSX or Rise of Flight.  But, maybe added system resources are being placed on your hardware when running FSX and not so much for a program developed much later and maybe updated since release.  I would download one of those freeware programs that scans your system for updated drivers.  I use Driver Booster which is free to use but has a lot of nags to get you to buy a license.  Still it will update drivers if found and for free.  Perhaps your USB ports need to be updated.

 

Best regards,

Thanks again Jim, I'll try updating drivers again and the USB ports. I'm sorry I binned WinOld when I thought Win 10 was working fine as I could have reverted to Win 7 but now it means doing a complete reinstall of Win 7 if updating doesn't work.

Hi Jim

Used Driver Booster but still the same problem,any recommendation?

No other recommendations other than to peruse the AVSIM CTD Guide (see link to guide in my signature) and follow those suggestions.  I suspect you used system restore and went back to a point before the crashes occurred?  Somehow your system got messed up and it could be something like a Windows update that caused it.

 

Best regards,
