Hello everyone, I recently installed SweetFx. However, I did not like it and tried to remove it. When I pressed remove on the sweetfx config, I got t

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:





When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

 

So I manually removed it. Now whenever I start FSX it immidietly quits! Please help!!

hey. you need to put back this file into your main fsx folder: "d3d9.dll" its looking for that file, so you need to put it back, then try to start fsx again..

[CptCaveman]

This is a common problem with using sweetFX and other such Dx9 injectors. You have left a few files remaining in the main FSX folder, which is causing the crash.

 

Please do not put the deleted files back as advised above. It will only complicate matters further.

 

In your main FSX folder there will be sweetFX files it setup to inject its effects. You need to delete those and FSX will be fine again. I cant off the top of my head remember exactly what ones sweetFX places in this folder. IIRC there will be a config file, a D3D9 dll and something else I cant remember. If they are removed you should be good to go.

I reinstalled FSX. Sorry for late reply!

Yes, that often works!
