0xc00005 - FSX:SE CTD every flight

[Jude Bradley 659]

If you're on Windows 10, there are some recent KB's that have caused this with P3D. I wouldn't be surprised if this was the same in your case.

"Faulting Module name: ntdll.dll." from the event viewer 14:47 30/09/17 [latest  crash]

[Jim Young 2,356]

For the NTDLL.dll error, you should check out the possible solutions on page 32 of the AVSIM CTD Guide.  These fixed the problem for many.

Also, when I am denied access to a file or folder, I right click the file or folder, click on Properties and then the Security Tab.  I then look to see who has permission.  If I (the User) am not allowed full control, I'll edit it and give myself full control.  Think you can do this too by going into Safe Mode.  You should be the Administrator of your Computer since you own the computer and the only user.  As the Administrator, you should be able to change this setting without any problems.

None of them fix them,

Also UAC is off and FSX is admin. 

I think I see your problem.  You have the 64 bit version of Microsoft Visual C++2005.  FSX and FSX-SE are 32 bit applications and you need the 32 bit versions.  If you have X-Plane or P3DV4, then you would need the 64 bit version. You can also try to repair your User Account as it can get corrupted - https://neosmart.net/wiki/corrupt-user-profile/

Replacing the User Account has fix problems for me in the past.

it'll be the (x64) NOT (X86)

still nothing - in the event viewer I get exception code 0xc0000041d not the 00005

That's where you are wrong.  FSX-SE is a 32 bit application and needs the X86 version.

oh my mistake, installed the x86 and nothing happens

The x86 version was installed by Dovetail when you installed FSX-SE.  Absolutely nothing is supposed to happen but, if an application add-on for FSX-SE needs the x86 version of Microsoft Visual 2005 w/SP1, then it is there.  Dovetail uses another version of Microsoft Visual C++ to install FSX-SE on your computer and really does not need MS 2005 w/SP1 but it is there in case there are any compatibility problems as you are running a very, very old program that was developed in 2006.  I understand it is v2013 which provides a lot of enhancements to the product and fixes some bugs found in the boxed version of FSX whenever you run FSX-SE. But you must have the x86 version of every Microsoft Visual installed.  Same goes with any Microsoft.net installed.  Here's the situation Hayden when you first buy your computer and install Windows 10 on your computer:  You do not have FSX-SE installed and you just bought it and you click on install.  It installs the product into Steam.  Once installed, you click on the FSX icon and FSX-SE starts up and you can then start making changes to your setup or use the default (ugh!).  There is nothing you have to do special (except read the AVSIM FSX Configuration Guide for some suggestions on settings).  Just purchase, click on install, and run the application.  Everything is installed for you.  I always recommend one disable UAC and any anti-virus program (or at least set it to not scan the directory where FSX-SE is installed).  After installation you should make sure the FSX-SE directory is not scanned by your anti-virus program (if you have one installed.  Remember, Microsoft Defender is an anti-virus program).  But, to be sure, this FSX-SE application is easy to install and run. They install everything you need to make the program function properly.  If you are getting ntdll.dll errors after that, then you goofed up somewhere.  The ntdll.dll is a system file and does not belong to FSX-SE.  If you are overclocked in any way, the ntdll.dll will be triggered and your program will crash and indicate it happened while FSX-SE was running.  That does not mean there is anything wrong with FSX-SE.  It could mean your CPU voltage was too high or too low while running FSX-SE (if overclocked).  FSX-SE takes up a lot of system resources.  When your computer is under a lot of stress running FSX-SE, anything can happen.  If you have high settings in FSX-SE and/or the Display Driver settings, the ntdll.dll may be triggered because your computer cannot handle FSX-SE with high settings.  When you have high settings and FSX-SE needs to use massive computer system resources during a flight, your computer will crash the application because it cannot handle what you are throwing at it.  It is not FSX-SE's problem, it is you who caused the problem when you set up your computer with high settings.

Like I say in the CTD Guide, system drivers can cause an NTDLL.dll or other crashes too.  If they are not up-to-date, FSX-SE will crash as it needs updated drivers without bugs in them.  With Windows 10, many software and hardware developers are fighting everything to come up with drivers that are not buggy and will work in Windows 10.  Windows 10 uses a lot of security too.  Your application should be started everytime with Administrator Rights.  You do that by going to the FSX.exe file, right clicking on it and selecting Properties.  Then the Compatibility tab.  Nothing under this tab should be changed except at the bottom where it states Run this application as an Administrator for ALL users (not just you).

Hope this helps.

My CPU is not overclocked and never has been, however I don't think having 75% + CPU usage when running FSX is very good for my CPU.

My Nvidia graphics driver is up to date

Hi Jim, I wouldn't recommend full control to a User since it can become unusable in future. Instead give the "Users group" Modify permission. As a member of the Windows logins you become a member of that group and acquire the privileges of that group. So in future you don't lose access to anything with a fault in your profile.

Maybe I should do a featrure on Windows permissions and making ones own folders etc. One of the biggest problems in flight sim is actually one of the easiest to solve.
