FSX freeze up/crash issue

[ryreaves]

Randomly during pretty much every other flight FSX freezes up and crashes, or simply just freezes up. It happens when I click any option such as to save my flight , or simply when I change views. I've yet to have it happen from clicking any aircraft gauges. I'm running FSX with SP1 and SP2 on a windows xp 32bit comp spec: intel core quad 2.4ghz processor nvdia 9800gt 4GB ram

If you will do a search for UIAutomationCore.dll and read up on it,I think you may want to install it...Cured all my freezes....You can download it here if you want:http://www.search-dll.com/dll-files/...ncore.dll.html
Edit: Just one example using the "search" box at the top of this page...http://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showth...automationcore

Thanks a lot. How do I install it?

[BMG50]

I installed it in the main FSX root folder and also in my c:\Windows\System32 and SysWOW64 folders..I am running W7 64B....I strongly advise you to do alittle reading on some of these "fixes" before you start installing them....Again,I suggest you do some reading in some other threads that I linked you to...Just do a search for "UIautomation" in this forum...Lots of info...HTH..Lou

I don't believe this is a fix for XP

It's like f'ing gambling on every flight - it sucks. "Do i change the settings.... sim could crash....hmm.... how bothersome are the stutters; if I move the scenery slider that could be it.... i'm feeling lucky today......" then BAM - stuck hour glass tells the tale. Time to start the flight over.


if ANYONE has a fix for XP users - i've got a notepad and pen glued to my shirt ready to write.

You may be right. I added the fix to my fsx folder, and it already was in my xp folder. So of course I left that unchanged, then I land in JFK click f10 and the dreaded hourglass comes up hehe followed by a CTD.

At least all the changes you made don't get deleted forcing you to re-adjust scenery, weather, traffic, etc

oh wait, ya they do.
