I'm currently at a stand-still. I can't imagine i'm the first person this has happened to. I already uninstalled and reinstalled FSX twice. Each time, same thing. It will load fine once or twice. I'll be able to do a couple flights then it will just not load after that. When trying to open FSX, the initial splash screen with appear for maybe 10 seconds the disappear. I've seen some things online about the Logbook file in the FSX folder in My Documents but that isn't helping either. Running Windows 8.

So I've narrowed it down. FSX on my computer doesn't seem to like FSUIPC. I've uninstalled and reinstalled DVA a/c to no avail. I'm not sure what I can do at this point. Is there a patch or fix? I've seen some stuff out there about the "DLL" file but pretty confusing.

Make sure you have the latest FSUIPC. Here's the link: http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html Free will do.

Try deleting your FSX.cfg and let it rebuild.

When you uninstall FSX and reinstall are you deleting the hidden folders in C:\users\"username"\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX and c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX

Well i uninstalled last night haven't done anything since. I will try that Jacob before I reinstall.

Darren, the fleet ac has the latest version but non the less I did delete the module and reinstall directly from the FSUIPC download site. Didn't work. That's how I came to the conclusion that it was the problem.

So I've went through the roaming profiles. No trace of FSX. Deleted anything I found for DVA because I want to ensure everything's gone. Will rinstall FSX now.

I've seen suggestions of keeping the FSX folder by itself (in the C drive, not in the Programs (86) so I will try that. If you have any other suggestions then please feel free. I'll also go ahead and install SB1/2 before I do anything else.

I've had my fsx.cfg file go corrupt a number of times in the past. Sometimes it seemed for no reason (no changes to the config that I was aware of). Generally it's good practice to back up fsx.cfg once you have fsx tuned and tweaked. You should have it listed in the roaming profiles path that Jacob has outlined. You could always just do a Windows explorer search for fsx.cfg.
