Dave, the error banner flashes so quickly that I cannot read it. It's immediately replaced with the "FSX is Restarting" Banner with the elapsed time crawl along the bottom of the banner. Once I shut FSX down it acts like it does shut down. The Icon leaves the tool bar and it takes a full 27.6 seconds for the error banner to flash and the restart sequence to begin.
 
Very strange that it automatically restarts FSX, the error message stayed on the screen until I selected what I wanted it to do.
 
OK. I managed to get a screen shot of the first banner which is, as I said replaced immediately by the restart banner.

This flashes first 27 seconds after shutdown.

The first banner is replaced immediately with this one which runs for about 15 seconds then the normal FSX start screen appears which leads to a normal start up.

That's a bit of a problem, not sure what else to suggest. It usually asks you first if you want it to try and find a solution online.
 
When you checked the windows error log, can you tell when you first encountered the problem with the panel.dll??

If so can you identify what addons you've added since that date?

BTW, if you have FSUIPC it can generate a log file of each time you load FSX from start to close. It's in your modules folder.

5/10/20 is the date. On that date I un then re installed the Midway Battle Group. On 5/14 I un then installed the latest version of the MBG I have the free version of FSUIPC.

All the other details are above.
 
Just to be thorough I re-installed the visual studio 2019 which contains the elements of 2015 & 2017 and got the panel.dll error on shutdown FSX ran perfectly. Removed the Microsoft visual C++2019 and the error was gone.
Installed the seperate versions of the microsoft visual studio 2015 and 2017 seperately and tried fsx, both times FSX gave me the panel.dll error on shutdown, when I removed them I had no more errors.
Using Windows7 64 bit.

If it helps anyone else this was the error I was getting on shutdown of FSX.

Dave, that’s the same information I get from the MS Event Viewer. I will delete 2013 and give that a try. At this point I’ll try almost anything.
 
Good luck, I did have a look on the net to see if the panel.dll error was generic. Not much information available.
 
I got it stopped! Finally. It was the Midway Battle Group. Took me a while to find all the bits and pieces because the latest update installs without being placed in the windows program group. When it was installed, even using an unedited dll.xml it would error. Uninstalled main MBG folders still got the error. When I finally found all the scattered pieces including ship placer, aicarrier cfg entries, etc did it stop. Also it doesn't appear to have been associated with any of the versions of Visual C++. So no more SWS apps for me! And I hate that because I liked the carriers.

Obviously this appears to be peculiar to my system only so aside from the dll.xml issue I would not discourage anyone from installing this software.

Thank you erican2, dl and everyone else who offered suggestions.

:dizzy:
