Thank you all so far. If anyone else has ideas. Please post. Will be creating a support note on the pmdg. Thanks Manny

Good day all, After purchasing the 777. I was pleased. The aircraft looks stunning and the features simulated are fantastic. There is however an issue that makes the aircraft unflyable for me. When I select it from the fsx menu and start on ground. I can get sometimes all the way through preflight, other times 1hr into the flight but it is guranteed on 7/7 flights that fsx will crash with a fatal error. What makes this worse is that it doesnt list the reason for the error and nothing appears wrong up until that point. For additional information, I have 4gb patch installed so it is not a memory issue. I have gone through.cfg changes and removed automationcore.dll over time to stop fsx crashing. It has a real issue with win7. I am running 64bit. It is now relatively stable 99/100 flights are fine with no crash however it seems to have reared its ugly head again with the 777. Its a shame as I love the aircraft but im feeling ive wasted £60 on something that at the moment doesnt fly. Appreciate any help James Evans

Jim, Thank you for the reply. I have been looking into it today and I have managed to change some settings for hotkeys etc and there are no longer any issues. It is running perfectly. I havent overclocked my PC. I have got a very stable version of FS as all uiautomation.dll is removed and dealt with. I do still have an issue. Its not for the CTD forum but you may know some detail. Since installing GSX, my squawbox is being problematic. It rarely can join the voice server. I no longer get the "ba dum" noise when i switch to a frequency and on 99% of online freq, i cannot recieve anything at all. I am not sure where to go. I dont really want to completely reinstall fsx again. I see you live in Woodbridge VA. Small world, I was there in early february. I stayed with a friend who attends Gar-Field School. Thanks, James Evans

Hello Shamrock, No I have not. Is it just adding "HIGHMEMFIX=1" into the that section? Would that cause the keystroke issue? Just checked. Yes, It is there

Good day World, Today I installed GSX from FSDT for my fsx. My fs was running fine last week. I havent made any system changes in the mean time. So here is where the issues start. Basically, When I click on a button in the aircraft, e.g the anti-collision lights on the PMDG737NGX. Every say 1 in 5 clicks, its completly random in terms of which button. It just comes up and happens. I have an issue where it goes to the "are you sure you wish to end FSX" menu with the YES/NO options. It also occasionaly crashes with no error or even "fatal error" message. I have uninstalled GSX and hte issue is still there. I have since reinstalled as I see it doesnt appear to be the issue. Can anyone please help me 1)RUN FSX 2) Commence preflight 3)Completely randon buttons, not all the ones that I press, and its so unexpected. It happens with not just the ngx, all other aircraft also. 4)Crash / menu comes up Thanks! James
