FSX frustration. Never ending......

did you try this: http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/1675/fsx-logbook-recovery/ ?
or try to delete/move your logbook somewhere else (it's in the documents/flight simulator x files directory), start fsx and see what happens...

Well, I deleted Chrome, and reinstalled Firefox. Also downloaded/installed the logbook recovery tool. Ran it, but it found no problems.

In a little while, after cleaning the registry, I will reboot my computer, start up FSX, and see what happens. Thanks. NC
 
Chief, if you are constantly adding/deleting files from FSX, you may need to run a 'check disk' function. This will check the drive for any NTFS file errors. It's possible you may have numerous orphaned files that are screwing things up.

Well, I did a CHKDSK from the startup menu. It ran a few seconds, and then the screen disappeared. I take it there are no errors??

I booted FSX, did a short take off, ended the flight, then shut down FSX. Same darn error. It keeps restarting FSX.....grrrrr....:banghead:
 
What I need is to find a computer guru on SOH who would connect with my computer via Teamviewer, and help me fix this!!!

Pete,

First of all, this is NOT a serious error at all, it is a glitch, an annoying one for sure, but nothing more than that.

if you remember what time the last error occured, open your eventviewer and look at the fault messages. You should be looking at the following thing: custom views/Administrative events. You're looking at a red circle with an exclamation mark.

Copy the details of that, post it here, and we'll be able to help you. I'm leaving home in a minute or so, so tonight (european time) I won't be able to help... Sorry about that!

Keep us posted!!!

Johan

EDIT: if nothing comes out of the eventviewer thing, then I'll help you tomorrow for sure. You have my email addy, so lemme know! In the meantime, mail me your phone number.
 
Navy Chief,
this may be related to the newest ATI drivers. It installs some application for gaming which is scanning your intalled games. It can record some footage when gaming (and so you saw that shortcut in the FSX menu)
I got rid of them and installed older ATI drivers.

I had never looked at the Eventviewer. Didn't know where it was, or what it was. But I started FSX...selected a aircraft, took off, ended flight, and then shut down. I then went to Eventviewer, having noted what time the error was. This is what I found: (all goblitygook to me!)

I had the same problem. This is related to the newest ATI drivers and an app which is installed with them. FSX was crashing on shutdown, too.
 
Before installing new drivers, I always remove the old ones completly. I think that you can keep the recent ones, but uninstall that AMD gaming application I mentioned. It should be on your software list. By default, it works in the background, too.

Could not find the option to remove just the driver. NC

Chief,

in the add/remove programs section of the control pannel, there should be an entry called Raptr. If you can't find it, Ccleaner also offers the possibility of removing it in the tools section.

Hope this helps!

Update:

Well, it looks like the problem of not closing is fixed. I was playing around with the Estonia Migration Tool. There is a tool within that software to fix the Windows 7 automatic scheme change to basic. Anyway, it appears to have remedied the problem, I HOPE! NC
 
Another friend of mine had the same errors out of the blue! I traced his issue to the AMD driver change. I suffered the very same issue last year and was reluctant to attempt a new driver update afterwards until March of this year. Such is why I keep a backup of he previous working driver package ready just in case.

Anyhow, hope all is well on your end Chief!
