If FSX freezes in flight, it might show an AppCrashView report showing BEX/StackHash and/or NTDLL.dll as the faulting modules, sometimes these crashes will alternate between the faulting module as StackHash and NTDLL.dll. This has been traced by me to an access violation. It happens because your user account is not shared with the main FSX folder. Some have fixed this (or they think they have fixed it) by installing FSX outside of the C:/Program Files (x86) folder (i.e., in something like C:\FSX). You don't have to do this and can keep FSX/P3D in the default Program Files (x86) folder. You can fix these types of crashes by downloading and installing a simple program called Take Ownership - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/add-take-ownership-to-explorer-right-click-menu-in-vista/ (for Vista/Windows 7 users) and here's a tutorial for Windows 8, 8.1 users - http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/2814-take-ownership-add-context-menu-windows-8-a.html. Once installed, you simply go to the main FSX folder, right click it and select Take Ownership in the context Menu. The CMD window will show up and begin giving you (the user) ownership of the Main FSX directory and all subfolders (if you are not the Administrator, you will need to know the Administrator's password. Be careful as the CMD window will appear to stop running and you might think it has finished its tasks but do not close it and wait until the CMD Window closes. It will do this on its own once the task is completed. If you have a utility, like ASN, AS2012, OPUS, REX, etc., make sure you take ownership of these programs too (if they are in your main FSX folder, this will be done but some install their weather program to another drive. I have found this fix will work 100% of the time or at least it did for me. This "fix" will be published in the next version of the AVSIM CTD Guide. Best regards,
