After all this time, it was the pesky update.......... DARN YOU KB3086225!!! GAHHHH!!!

That's probably what it is, but btw I'm doing this for my dad,who is a Cheif pilot,and he just said "there's always FSX" soooooo... it would probably work after using regedit, but if he doesn't want to back his computer up and all that,then I guess not :l I guess this can be a string for anyone who went through all this LUL 😉

Okay, I give up... I've done everything there is to fix this... I'm just gonna buy fax, which is a whole different deal, so thanks for trying to help Steve0616... I just love it so much, but if there is just one thing left, I'm willing to try.

I figured out how to mod the files, and I changed all of the extensions so the system wouldn't recognize it (and yes, I did it for both 64 and 32 bit) and still nothing was showing up. I also tried to change the registry keys, but I don't want to hurt my PC so I left those alone. i am wondering though what would happen if you just straight up deleted every single registry under Gameux since it's pretty much pointless to the system.

I tried deleting and/or modifiying the gameux.dll files, but it said I needed "TrustedInstaller" in order to do anything about it. Do you know how to work around, Steve?

Just Breaking! I analyzed the wait chain in Resource Monitor and found out that, by looking at the process trees, that fs9.exe waits on rundll32.exe! Now all I need is some help on how to work this problem out, and I think that fs9.exe will be able to boot!

The update didn't reinstall, so I'm kind of at a dead end :0 anything would be good at this point.

It's more than likely the update, I'm going to work on it today. More than likely what it is if I can't run it, but would it matter if I used a No CD hack?

Hey! I am repairing FS2004 and would like to know which .dlls are in the Modules for and in the main game folder. Thanks in advance

Every thing seemed to work fine until I changed a cfg a little bit on an addon. It started to crash and it was starting to become unplayable. I've already deleted KB3086225, but it might have reinstalled? I've got all the .dlls back, so the options are narrowing down. I've gone through the compatability settings, but it doesn't launch for either of them. I also did a full system scan (sf /scannow) on CMD and nothing corrupt was found. It might be the update, but I am confident it's probably fs9.cfg, but after a full system scan in my CPU hard drive, still couldn't find it! Also Jat, the ACT phased out too before it started having problems. Hope this is more detailed! (PS it ran on Win XP 2 before the crashes.)

Sorry I should have specified I'm in W7. I don't get any error messages so far

I'm not happy when I lose my Flight Sim! For the past few months, I've tried a lot of things to get FS9 working. I've repaired missing .dlls (and yes they were missing off the disk), installed in a non-primary folder, and going through each disk to make sure everything is there. Also, I can't find FS9.cfg anywhere, and I can't figure out where to put it. It's not in Appdata, the game folder, or anywhere as far as I'm concerened. I've also tried terminating rundll32.exe after starting because of how much CPU% it sucks out. I've used addons in the past, so I'm thinking it may have distorted the fs9.cfg a little bit. Please send help, or I might just bash my computer till it works ;)
