FSX suddenly stopped working and I received this log from appcrash viewer.  It was a util.dll fault and I never had this type of crash before.  Any ideas what caused this and how can I avoid them in future?

The faulting module was the util.dll.  This use to be a nasty bug, especially in FS9.  Haven't seen it so much in FSX.  It's usually caused by something missing in a scenery you are flying over or a bad installation of the scenery.  If you recently installed a new scenery, recommend you reinstall it (this includes any AI program you might have recently installed as they sometimes have airport AFCAD's that could be corrupted).

 

Best regards,

Just got FlyTampa Dubai. I was enroute there but soon after departing from FlyTampa Athens it crashed! Anyways tried the same flight today without incident.
