Thanks Dave! I thought that some sort of GUI would was supposed to pop open via which you would open up FSX.

That's what I did. Ran .bat file as admin and the aforementioned occurs. Do I use that file to start FSX, or am I supposed to start FSX as normal and the window for the .bat file comes up?

I did it exactly as described but a DOS command prompt comes up and disappears. Have latest Java installed.

Well, I guess I won't put in a support ticket. Can't get through to that part of the website.

I'm in a similar boat...I have tried 3 times to do a re-install after moving FSX out of Program Files (x86) to get rid of another issue, and now I cannot get anything at all to show on my screens in the cockpit. I don't even get the initalization sequence at the beginning after loading the plane.

Thanks for the help, Steve, but I am not one who knows his way around computers enough to mess around with manual uninstalls, etc, which usually leads to me screwing other stuff up and leading to more trouble. I guess I will just have to put in a support ticket and wait my turn. Not sure why this is happening, but it is tough to swallow as I have only completed one flight in a product I bought the day of release. I can certainly share the frustration of those others out there who are having issues with this A/C. In my case, I knew better than to purchase software on initial release, but I fell for the hype and just had to have it. The one flight I did manage to complete, however, was awesome, and I am in love with the plane. PMDG did a great job with it and it definitely raises the bar miles above the rest!

Hmmm....then not sure why it isn't going through the intialization sequence. Strange.

Yes...everything seems to have uninstalled correctly. Not sure why it won't ask me to validate.

I am trying to re-install my NGX after uninstall, and after installing it does not ask me for my order info for validation, and when it loads the a/c, it does not do the "initialize" segment and shows blank instruments. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice with no success. All permissions are correct, and I had no problems with the initial install when first purchased. Anyone else have this problem? And no, it is not a bootleg copy, etc., so please don't go there.

Those who want to purchase but don't see a purchase button need to register and then login to see it I believe.

Thanks for all your help, guys. Looks like I was able to do the uiautomationcore.dll fix and am not having any more black screen issues using the menus in sim. I really do appreciate all the help and many thanks for the other tweak info that was passed on. This is a great plane, and i was able to finally complete a full flight this morning thanks to your help!

Anything more on this? Is it the dreaded "uiautomationcore.dll issue" that I am experiencing, or is it something else? Just wondering if anyone who has this problem other than me has found a solution, as I have not.

Your cost index is way too high I think...shows as 355? That means your speed is maxed out and therefore to maintain that speed in the climb the plane has to climb slowly. Also, judging by what's left on your route versus how much fuel you have, you may have a premature end to your flight.

AMD catalyst drivers? I have no clue what those are either. Sorry....not a computer-savy guy here. I just bought this computer a week ago and have dowloaded all the updates for Windows, etc... I have a fresh install of FSX and the other programs I have listed below, along with the NGX and MD-11. -Tim

Ryan, I am not using a limiter of any type, and I don't know what D3D and ENB mods are. The screen goes black from use of the menus in FSX.
