Hello. I've been a user of your programs for years. This is the first problem of this kind I've encountered. I can run with no problems PMDG 737 NGX until I use the FS2Crew Config Manager to install either the Voice or Button panel. After running the Config Manager and installing either the Voice or Button panel (with confirmation of the install) and then running (starting) FSX and starting one of the PMDG 737 flight models from the "free flight" menu, after some churning the entire FSX "free flight" menu "grays out" and locks then produces an "extreme error..." message. Sometimes in order to kill FSX (task manager won't work), I have to restart Windows. If I restart FSX after uninstalling the FS2Crew panels using the Config Manager, it will start OK and I can again run PMDG 737 NGX OK with no problem. I can choose any other flight model and it works excellently. If I uninstall the FS2Crew NGX software completely or even just use the Config Manager to turn off the Voice or Button module, the PMDG 737 NGX run OK. I've uninstalled and reinstalled FS2Crew. I've uninstalled and reinstalled PMDG 737 NGX. I've reinstalled SP1c. I believe my entire FSX system is up to date. The only thing I have not done (surely not looking forward to it) is reinstalling my entire FSX program. I do have add on programs, but have read this forum to find any conflicts that may cause this problem, but no good results. Sometime you just have to yell HELP!!! Basically my system: Windows 7 Professional (x64) Service Pack 1 (build 7601) 2.67 gigahertz Intel Core i7 920 6gig RAM ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 [Display adapter] (2x) FSX I'm using DX9 (not previewing DX10) Starting with 2D panel Hope you have some ideas, I'm really jealous reading how much fun these pilots are having with one of my favorite addon products. Thanks, Jan (jellyjams) Lee.

Shad, thanks for giving this a shot. The questions you ask may as well be in latin...I have no idea. What I can do is point you to the file here in the Avsim file library--minicp10.zip. It's really handy for me; allowing me to use mouse clicks instead of having to fumble with the keyboard. The config program lets you design your own custom panel. Simmers have uploaded panels to the Avsim library that let you control lights, flaps, pback, etc. This panel--fs2k_menu_bar.zip, in the Avsim file library by William Jackson (14 Dec 2002) designed using the minicp system was designed for FS2K2, but does float on FS2K4 in full view mode, which is what I'm trying to get the basic program to do. Thanks for any help you can offer.

Hello: I'm still using a great little panel that was designed for FS2K2 in FS2K4. It is MiniCP (MiniControlPanel...can be found in the Avsim File Library). It allows small mouse clickable buttons on a small window that will perform different functions in FS. I use it for ATC. My problem is it shows (floats)and works perfectly in FS regular view, but it will not show in FS Full View. I'm hoping someone will have some help with making it show in the full view mode. It actually "floats" on the screen and can be moved anywhere on the screen; does not have to be installed on the flight panel. Thanks for any help.

I'm really enjoying the PMDG 737NG. My vid card allows me to connect two monitors. I have an extra monitor just sitting around. I understand that I can put windows like the overhead, throttles, etc. on the extra monitor. I need suggestions on software to use; what works for you, any problems that I may run into, etc. Thanks much for all suggestions.
