You might want to check your Events log to see what the error/faulting module is. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keefpee Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 Can't say I've had a problem with loading FSX + Accel onto my new bottom of the range Acer using W8.1 64bit. In fact it loaded easier than FS9!!! In FSX I can get about 17 - 18 fps with sliders mid range. FS9 had a problem due to the full screen setting in the FS9.cfg, now sorted!

pvarn Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 There are a lot of reasons people could get crashes. We don't know what causes this person's crashes until he reports the results of checking the Event Viewer log. It could be add-ons or lacking .net/C++ updates, too high settings, etc. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't got steam re installed yet.. Read the crash stickies at the top of this forum for how to use the Event Viewer Log. "on disk last year about the middle of the year as my old original copy was worn out" Pretty hard to wear out the install disk since you don't need it in the drive to use the sim. Your sim installation on your HD does not "wear out" unless your HD goes bad or you mess it up with add-ons and bad tweaks. " in the launch thing it shows pics of the steam version... I haven't got steam re installed yet.. " Are you running the Steam version or not? If you have any version of FSX running, there is no reason to re-install anything. All problems can be fixed without doing so unless your computer is broken. -Pv- 2 carrot salad, 10.41 liter bucket, electric doorbell, 17 inch fan, 12X14, 85 Dbm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
