Another fsx crash question

[wyodeacon]

Well, I'm about to junk this computer. I had a hard drive crash and Dell talked me through a format/windows reload and everything seems to be fine except I can't get FSX to work. I installed FSX Deluxe and sp1 and it loads just fine. To check it I just tell it to fly now with the ultralite. It loads and has me flying over Friday Harbor. So Far So Good.

When I push the escape button instead of going back to the main free flight window it shows a black screen with the white box saying "loading complete 100%". It sits there for maybe 5 seconds then crashes. If I try to load a different aircraft it does the same thing. I have uninstalled and re-installed 3 different times with no change.

Here is my error message:

I plan to get a new computer this fall but I'm having shoulder surgery on monday and would like to get this going. Any ideas?

Thanks.....

Update your video card drivers from the AMD/ATI web site.

Points out to your Graphic card's driver. I suggest you to check if any updates are available. If not, reinstall the current one or rollback to a previous (stable) driver.

 

Wish you a rapid recovery after your surgery.

OKAY!! I went to AMD and updated .....and it works! I don't know how you knew it was a driver as I can't see anything in there pointing that way but you nailed it. Thanks so much. I was about to go nuts. :)

Thanks also for your good wishes. Take care.

This dll points that it was your graphic card driver.

 

And, I suggest you to install SP2 too.

Yes, I just installed Accelerator. I was just checking it with a minimum of add-ons before proceeding. Thanks again.
