January 27, 20197 yr Just today I started getting this message: Flight Simulator has detected a problem with a third-party software program (add-on): Name: FSUIPC4 DLL Version: 4.972 Do you want to run this software (not recommended). If I click yes to run it, FSX just quits loading. If I click no, it loads OK. So I deleted all the FSUIPC stuff from the Modules folder and reinstalled FSUIPC4. Same problem. So, not a corrupted dll but a problem with FSX? I'm thinking I should re-install FSX-SE. If I save my Simobjects\Airplanes folder somewhere safe can I copy it back into the re-installed FSX and get all my planes back? How about my Addon Scenery folder? Will I have to go into the Settings - Scenery Library and reload (or whatever the term is) all my addon sceneries one by one (ouch)? Ken

Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!
January 28, 20197 yr Author I take it back ..... this time I clicked yes (to use the alleged "problem" FSUIPC4 anyway) and FSX loaded OK. Then I registered FSUIPC4 and relaunched FSX and it works perfectly. Go figure! Ken
January 28, 20197 yr Author Thank you Charlie! I'm sure that following your advice was instrumental in the solution. That's the cool thing about this hobby and forum. Ken
