Zorak442 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Hi Everyone, I am new here. Back in the day, I was a member of quite a few FS forums. Anyways... I am running Windows 7 and I just installed FSX for the first time. As the splash screen comes up, within seconds, I get a window saying "A Fatal Error Has occurred." I have Googled this a few times and issues from 2010 are the top results. I was wondering if anyone could shine some light on this issue for me. I tried installing that .dll file and placing in the FSX folder, but of course that did not solve the problem either. Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Welcome! In order to assist you we will need to know what the faulting module is that's causing the fatal error. Control Panel-> Administrative Tools-> Event Viewer, select Custom Views-> Administrative Events. One of the listed events will be for your CTD. The "Faulting Module" should point to the problem area. Tell us what the Faulting Module is! That will point us in the direction of the proper error, aiding in troubleshooting. BELOW IS A SAMPLE OF WHAT YOU MIGHT SEE! General Tab: Faulting application name: fsx.exe, version: 10.0.61637.0, time stamp: 0x46fadb14 Faulting module name: This is what we need to Know! Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000ee3a Faulting process id: 0x748 Faulting application start time: 0x01ce0253dc4b69d4 Faulting application path: R:\FSX\fsx.exe Faulting module path: R:\FSX\window.dll Report Id: 9caf77b4-6e50-11e2-8570-3085a99825d1 If there is not one listed: Faulting module name: unknown, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x00000000, you will need to do as previously noted No Faulting Module? -> Remove all of the add-ons, and test the sim. If it works OK, then reinstall them one at a time and test. Be sure to test each thoroughly before moving on to the next Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

Zorak442 Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Thanks for the reply! This is what I found. Faulting module name: simprop.dll, version: 10.0.61472.0 I'm sure it goes without saying I have no idea what that means, Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 https://www.flightsim.com/vbfs/showthread.php?296175-simprop-dll Or you can type FSX simprop.dll error into Google search and see if any other suggestions other than a complete REPAIR will help.

il88pp Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Here a texture issue is suggested as cause. Poster tries "Repair", but eventually finds texture issue was the cause indeed. (repair fixed the simprop error, but then a visualfx error showed. Could have been the visualfx error causing it all along. Sometimes one module crashes (visualfx for example), and causes another (simprop.dll) to crash as well. The simprop error is then in the logs, and the original faulting module is not shown.) btw, faulting module sounds weird, but is just, "module that crashes". Doesn't have to be a faulty .dll file. And actually usually isn't. But instead, the module crashes because it tries to show another file, and that is missing so it can't be called. (in this case a texture.)
