pdmike Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 I am running FSX in Windows 7. I keep getting the Fatal Error. Is there a reliable fix for this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 It all depends on what the "Faulting Module" is! 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!

Some of them are very old and I doubt that I would be able to replace them. Most of the stuff I have read on the Internet (and elsewhere on this forum) puts the blame on a faulty .dll file (UIAutomationcore.dll). But guys report mixed results with replacing it.

mrzippy Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Does the error happen because of a lot of switching screens? Maybe between cockpit to outside view and back? Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdmike Posted February 8, 2021 Author Share Posted February 8, 2021 Does the error happen because of a lot of switching screens? Maybe between cockpit to outside view and back? Yes. I will decide to save a flight. Flight/Save and then I get the Fatal Error. Or I can decide to change the weather. Fatal Error. So long as I just fly, all is good. But if I decide to go into the menu for some reason, that's when it happens. Not all the time. In fact, not most of the time but, when it does happen, that's the activity that seems to trigger it. It rarely happens when I am using the S-key to switch views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrzippy Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 You are running the disc version of FSX and not FSX-SE? Do you already have a copy of UIAutomationcore.dll in your main FSX folder?

You do not need to replace uiautomationcore.dll, you need to fix what is causing that DLL to fail. Ignore those dubious sites that tell you to download and install a file they are offering. They are illegal if they are making such files available and there is every chance they may contain something malicious. Microsoft recognise this as a possible problem in Windows 7, so if that is your oprtating system your solution may be here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/applications-crash-when-automated-by-a-ui-automation-client-app-in-windows-b746d17a-fda1-a1a2-9290-431fa155e859 John http://www.adventure-unlimited.org My co-pilot's name is Sid and he's a star!

pomak249 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 it could well be your uiautomation.dll take a look here; https://www.dll-files.com/uiautomationcore.dll.html Had similar issue with Win10 until I downloaded and installed a new one. Mine is 6.0.5840.16386 It goes in your main FSX folder btw i5 4690 (350mhz) with Arctic Cooler, 32GB Patriot Viper 1600mhz, ASUS Rock H97 performance MoBo, MSI Ventus XS OC 1660GTX 6GB, Windows10 64bit, 256GB and 500GB Crucial SSDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downwind66 Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 No blame intended Charlie! It's happened before with more than 1 aircraft, but usually happened as a result of what you described!

pdmike Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 First off, THANKS to all you guys for all you help! Truly appreciated. It's beginning to look like I need that dll dile: UIAutomationcore.dll. How do I get it without downloading it from a dangerous site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are out of luck and will have to take a chance with one of the .dll sites. All links in the flightsim topics are dead. Found one! https://support.thefsps.com/kb/faq.php?id=15 click on the "download" in blue. Edited February 9, 2021 by mrzippy Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!

pdmike Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Well, I just flew a complete flight from LAX to SFO in the A319. During the flight, I changed views a number of times, alternated the speed, and did a few other things with the menu. No error of any kind, so looks like so far, so good. Time will tell of course, but I am hopeful we have this solved. If any problems come up in the next couple of days, I'll be back. If not, good on ya! Job well done.

Downwind66 Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Charlie - Make that two brownies!! I was watching Mike's reporting back to see if it helped him, which it did! I looked at my FSX root directory to see if I had that UIAutomationcore.dll file and I DID NOT! So, with Mike having positive results, I figured I would give it a try and I tried everything I did last night that caused the "fatal error" and I could not get it to act up! Yipppeeeeee! Charlie and Mike - Thank you! I like it when you have something that actually works! Mike, remember Charlie (mrzippy) as he has forgot more than most of us will ever know! :rolleyes: Rick :cool::cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pdmike Posted February 12, 2021 Author Share Posted February 12, 2021 It's been a number of days. I have used FSX a lot, doing just about everything you can do from the menu over and over again. No Fatal Error. Problem solved. Sticking that .dll file in there is what did it. Thank y'all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
