BEAT THE SUCKER.... man, so simple.. looking back at my scan for fs9.cfg there is not one there.. something (virus or malware changed the .cfg to a text file. ) that never sat right with me all along.. A few days ago I renamed the file and took out the .cfg out of it but never mad any difference. I bit the bullet and copied my backup fs9.cfg to the folder and bingo all good.. Man am I a happy dude now..No reinstall, no format etc...no installing all the add-on's etc.......... :Party: Thank you Walouigi and Mel for all your help, advice, suggestions and most of all your patience with me.. Much appreciated

Tried both.. no go.. the file is shared already or at least the checkmark for "make this folder private" is unchecked.. Thanks so much guys... Can someone check the size of the FS9.exe file for me please? I am thinking maybe a corrupt exe file??? just a hunch.. Mine is 1362KB 9/1/2004. Is there a repair section on the cd's? Might give that a try if there is such a thing. If I reinstall the program, will it wipe out all my add ons?

No Joy :( .. Same thing.. I deleted the "h" account now so there is just my account as administrator .. rebooted and no joy either..

I went to the FS9 folder in app data.....etc and there is a check-box beside "local sharing and security". There is a check mark in there but cannot remove it. It is greyed out.. :mad: "It says the options on this tab are not available because it is in another folder" then a blue link. I clicked it and the checkbox is available and I unchecked it. It is now working like mad "setting permissions". We will see

The folder where FS read the starting situation. The main FS9 folder? AVG that was blocking FS9 to access the folder. How do I get AVG to stop blocking access to the folder? Sorry not much of a techie but I am trying real hard to understand this. I right clicked the FS9 folder then properties then sharing. It tells me to drag the whole folder to the shared directory??????? It never was in there? hmmm sorry, I feel a bit out of my element.. :(

It appears my fs9.cfg file is missing from my "rick administrator" account. it appears that somehow a . in my cfg file turned it into a text file?? I see one in the "h"account but 0 bytes.. Should I copy my backup cfg file to the folder? Here is my search for fs9.cfg on my system.. It was recommended to search and see if the cfg was marked :read only" on another forum when i googled my problem. Here is a shot of my search.

ok I checked my other user "h" left on there by a tech shop when I upgraded motherboard, cpu and gpu years ago. He said he left it there because I transferred my existing drive to the new system and had to make another user.?? I have never logged on to it before. I did now. only a few of the icons from my "rick administrator" user were on there???? why would they be there too, and only some?? I have never logged in to "h". I started fs9 from "h" and a screen came up with the FS9 "accept eula" I did, and the splash screen came up and started loading for about 5 sec. then disappeared. Tried to run again, cd spun up, splash screen for 2 sec then disappeared. then quit each time.. never did load. Arghh Logged off "h" logged back into "rick administrator" hoping the splashscreen would come up. nope error message same as before. What would happen if I deleted the "h" user? eeek this is also my work computer with all my business emails and proprietary work software on it. I just about hit the button but didnt :wacko: Time to take it to the tech shop??

Operating system is Windows XP sp3. Anti virus is AVG free updated and run daily. I install spybot once a week, run, then remove from my system. I checked my account and I am the administrator. I just updated avg and ran, clean. I just updated and ran spybot, clean. When I was running avg a pop up came saying i needed to update AVG to keep protected. Because I just updated it seemed odd for this pop up so I just closed the window. It appeared to be an AVG window but who knows these days..sheesh I did a system restore 4 times with different checkpoints and it said I cannot restore to this point. I moved back about 3 weeks and it finally restored to that point.. Same issue everything else seems to work fine but FS9. I am not saying this is the problem but I noticed it after installing the CRJ 100/200 from this site (http://www.premaircraft.com/) as per the readme text. My computer locked up earlier today after running REX and FS9. I only closed one screen but did not exit FS9. I went away for a couple hours and came back and could not click anything had to hit the reset button on my computer to reboot. The REX icon was flashing away for quite a while before it shut down. Any more info let me know.. I am at a loss right now.. Thanks Again

My computer locked up this afternoon and had to reboot. No this comes up.. I am logged in as admin. I ran spybot and win32.downloader.gen showed up and removed.. still same. Will restore to earlier date help. Thanks what a PITA Here is a pic of the Error.. oh an new screen came up when i tried to shut down that I have never seen before, a grey box with a dropdown box asking id I want to shut down, restart, or hold on( or something like that) Thanks

Thanks again Alex

Blog.. I wouldn't read. Would be just another place to get information.. This site in my opinion is doing a stellar job. News and info readily available here in one place. JMO Rick..

Thanks Alex. I didnt know if they were papi or vasi so I didnt comment :wacko: I will try 0.5 and see if that helps.. Do they look big to you? or is that typical

Do you change the appearance in the fs9.cfg file? which one do you change to make smaller? Is there an entry to make them brighter? Thanks

Here is a shot of both GPU and CPU info.. Suggestions?

I am running 32 bit XP SP3.. I am assuming AB is MB.. I am using Asus MB M2N68-AM Plus with a 3.0Gh dual core processor.. I had a GT7800 GPU installed before with no stutters. When I installed the GTX640OC it was running great up to 60 fps. Now for some reason it has dropped to 27/8 or 12/14 with heavy clouds.. There must be something going on.. It definitely stutters now at the low FPS..Ill post CPUZ maybe that might show something.. Thanks

Slow again..Really slow! I am sure they know about it by now. 60 sec to bring up main page and another 40 to log in..Just a FYI

I'm running FS9 not X. GPU load is 99% and only 246MB memory used when my card has 2 GB?? Should it not use all of the memory or at least most? If it used all the memory then the GPU load would not be as great, no?

Can someone look at this and see if there is a problem? It only shows 246MB video ram being used?? I think that is what is shows..Video engine load is 0???

Thanks Alexos.. Found it.. Ill have a look with caution.

Sorry to but in: Hanse: "I also use the FS Autostart to uncheck unnecessary service functions." Is this a separate utility or built in to fs9? Thanks and carry on

I was just reading a forum and clicked to go back To the main page and real time was 21 seconds. Hmm. I guess I will check with my I provider.

Thanks, I understand now..That is what I thought initially..

17 seconds from when the browser shows waiting for avsim till the main page loads.. Ping or no ping it's 17 seconds..

Extremely slooooooow.. takes 5-10 seconds to load each page,, "waiting for avsim" I don't know what they did but before the upgrade it was fast loading now it is bordering on frustrating. I hope they can look into this and see if there is something they can do.
