FSX Crashing all the time!

Cheers Dan.

Andy,

What does it say in the event logs? It should tell you what crashed and why... i.e. program, memory driver etc.

I just can't figure out why it's doing it!

I didn't think Vista let you do that. :think:

I didn't think Vista let you do that.

Obviously from a new install, but there are also reportedly ways to do this from the upgrade version.

Since I am probably about 2+ years away from Vista, I cannot confirm, although I have copied the articles from the web for future reference

This is straight from the event log:

Faulting application fsx.exe, version 10.0.60905.0, time stamp 0x44fd0a92, faulting module weather.dll, version 10.0.60905.0, time stamp 0x44fd0f34, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x0002b106, process id 0x7c0, application start time 0x01c779c63eea110d.

Do I guess correctly that weather is causing the problems?

Cheers,

You certainly do. Are you ung CAtive sky or some other 3rd party weather program?

Nope no 3rd party software is being used at all.

The funny thing is that this is the only crash to be logged in the event viewer. The sim has crashed several times but this is the only case logged. :think:

Cheers,

Are you using "Real World" Weather? Have you tied the "Clear All Weather" in the weather options menu. Worth a shot to see if clears up any corrupt weather files.

Good idea I'll give it a go!

You might also check any inbuilt firewall settings, and try to look inside the security and the system event-logs as well, as not all fault are obvious in the application log.

Ive tried disabling firewalls and anti-virus software, Running FSX at minimal settings, clearing weather, looking in event logs....and STILL no luck. :sad:
