FSX freezes @ "loading air land and sea" traffic, 86%

[TracyQ 2]

I am my wit's end with this problem because software is not my forte.  I've searched the internet,  including here at Avisim.

 

Anybody have an idea what I can do  (in small words, please )

If you recently installed any AI traffic utility, like MyTraffic or Ultimate Traffic, it could be that this app has a faulty installation and the best way out is to uninstall such a program via Windows Uninstall (Control Panel - Programs and Features), reboot and re-start FSX. If that is the case and you're successful re-starting FSX then read the AI traffic program installation instructions carefully before another new installation.

Hope this helps,

remove all the traffic files and try again, if it works, put the bgl files back one by one.

Nope, no AI addons at all,  and I just went in and shut all default AI.  It even got worse,  froze in the airplane selection screen.  

 

OT,  but in the last month,  I have spilled coffee all over the keyboard of this machine,  dropped my smart phone and shattered the screen,  bought a cheap Walmart computer to get me by until this machine could be repaired,  struggled with Win10 on that computer,  and had passwords invalidated because, of course,  it was a new machine trying to access the website.   AAAAAAAAAAAAAArrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

Running fsx as administrator? delete your fsx.cfg file and let it rebuild?

Deleted fsx.cfg and it did load past 86%, however,  I then loaded the A2A Texan into the sim and it was looking great until I tried to do anything in the VC,  froze again,  with no textures displayed.  

 

I'll keep trying things on this end,  if anyone comes up with some ideas,  I would sure appreciate it.

Run windows update, and all drivers especially sound and video?

So the problem you had in the OP is fixed.  Now you have a new problem with the A2A Texan?  Do you have any event in the Event Viewer or is there a report using the AppCrashView?  Sounds like you have something scanning your system in the background like in a schedule update or anti-virus check or something like that.
