Hi: I am using FSX and Windows 7. Lately I have been having FSX crash on (Fatal Error) . I looked in the Win Logs and got a mesage saying the faulty module was livingwater.dll,and also that the faulty path was fsx.exe. I have no idea what these are. I understand that this is a rather common problem , having something to do with FSX being 32b and Win 7 being 64 bit. I would really appreciate some help with this. It dos not happen all the time but is very annoying. Thanks Ralph33

Hi Firehawk 44. My problem has been fixed. The problem was that as I was using Air Hauler which uses FSX. There was a file (AHX.mdb) missing in the Air Hauler folder. This file is needed to get the application running. I reinstalled the Air Hauler program and the file is there now and all works fine now.I have no idea how the file went missing in the first place. Just thought I would let you know. Thanks for your help on this matter.

Hi again Jim: yes I have norton.I disabled norton temporally with no change. The error still occurs. I was thinking of restoreing my computer to before the problem occured. I checked it out and I can restore it back to a few days ago. I think this may get rid of the problem. Do you think this is a good idea?

Hi Jim, thanks for the reply. I am trying to find Resident Shield on my computer. I want to disable it. to see if it fixes the problem. It says to go to tools/advance settings and uncolaps resident shields and uncheck enable resident shield. Where in win7 is tools?

I am using fsx and have a program called air hauler. when i start air hauler i get an error message "unhandled exception" which prevents me from using the program. Can anyone tell me what the problem is an how to fix it?

Thanks for the advice. Sure looks nice at Capsims. I'll check out the sale price in a month or so.

I'm looking for a good C-30 Hercules download for Fsx. Can anyone suggest one?

Hi Paul. I did as you said. And everything went smoothly. All works fine. I can now use the acceleration. When I tried to load it before I must have tried to load it with SP2 already there. Thanks Paul for your help and also the the others. Ralph

Ok Paul I will give it a try and let you know how I make out.

i am a bit confused about installing Acceleration. I just installed SP1 and SP2 and it improved FSX. In order to install Acceleration I now have to remove SP1 and SP2 which returns me to the basic FSX installation. Then install Acceleration which includes SP2. Is this correct?I suppose if it does not work out I can always uninstall it all and then reinstall. Also when I look in my program listing all I see is Microsoft Flight Simulator x Service Pack 2I don't see Service Pack 1 How do I remove SP1 and SP2 and leave the basic FSX program in order to install Acceleration.

Thanks for the help. I installed SP1 and SP2 as you said. No problems the scenery looks much better and it works fine. One other thing. With fsx gold there is an acceleration disk. I tried installing that awhile ago and had problems. Errors came up and i am reluctant to instll it again. Is there a special proceedure to install it?

Do i require SP1 and SP2. and briefly what do they do for fsx. I looked at the site to download them and it specifies operating systems vista or xp. I am running windows 7. Does that make a difference?

All i have is the basic program fsx.Should i have sp2?

I have been using fsx for about 2 months now and find the scenery much better than fs9, however i find that fsx is unstable. I crashes or freezes every so often. whereas fs9 is rock solid. i was wondering if there are updates to the fsx program available since the original to fix this problem. Would appreciate some advice.

I found my problem. I removed all my saved flights. Somehow one of the flights was causing the problem , I have no idea why. I am back to the original default flight and can now change the seasong ok.
