I am Getting an Intermittent 'Fatal Error' when Running FSX. It Seems to Be a Random Event and I can't Seem to Nail it Dowen to a Specific Action that Triggers the Fatal Error.
If I Fly On-Line with FSINN the Error will Always Occur. So I have Unloaded and Re-Loaded FSCopilot and FSINN which Did Not Solve the Problem.
I have Seen Postings About this Issue in the Past and I Do Not Recall the Specific Forum.
I have Reloaded FSX and FSX Aceleration and this Did not Solve the Problem.
The System is Windows Vista 64 Bit, i7 CPU @ 2.67 GHz; 12 GB Ram with a Nvidia GeForce GTS240 Video Card,
Something Tells Me this is a Relatively Simple Fix and Others Have Experienced the Same Issue.
Any Help Would be Greatly Appreciated - Very Frustrating to Lose Flights.

Are you running everything in Admin mode?, Is your firewall letting everything through that is needed to fly on line? I am a little forgetful so I check the basics first. I have a simular problem to yours and I am running a simular system. I found that if I run FSX, Acars, and FSInn all at the same time my machine gets fatal errors after a couple of hours. Mostly memory errors. It will also just lock up and the screen freezes. I installed AlacrityPC on my machine and I can now fly some very long hauls without any errors what so ever (except for the brain that is controlling things). Last, but not least, how many programs are running in the background? Hope this helps.

Michael,

Also when you're in FSINN..... FSCopilot/Settings in your top bar FSX menu. Scroll down to radio tuner and double click to disable. I've had this numerous times as well. Should do it for you.

Logan, I've had a similar problem after I loaded the DVA B767 aircraft and panels. Do you have them installed? I finally determined the problem was with the B757/B767 gauges, that cause a hiccup when I start FSX. To get around this, I removed the DVA767 panel folder from the panels (put it in a temp folder), then start FSX, then move the panel folder back to it's proper place. Kindof a pain, but my FSX doesn't crash anymore on startup. I'm also running Win7-64. This happened with FSX and WinXP also. With FS9 it worked fine. I need to submite a problem ticket for this, but haven't figured out how to do that yet. Kerry

My previous response was meant for MIchael, not Logan. Sorry.

Haha that's ok! That's just been my solution to fsx crashing when using FSInn. I'm not sure about your issue though Kerry.
