• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

HELP an old XP User

Start Menu
Pick run
Type in "services.msc" (without quotation marks)
Scroll down to "cryptographic services".
Right click on it and select "start".
Also change it from "manual" or "disabled" to "automatic".

Try that and see if it works then.
 
Do you have the windows firewall and security centre enabled? If so kill it, it can cause all sorts of little issues like this and isn't really up to much.
 
Well did you try a new download and run it? :isadizzy:
 
Hmmm I thought you were using XP......

You must have vista....

If your install of FSX is new, by reinstalling it maybe DX 9 - 10 will load properly .....


Or perhaps try a FSX repair...

Wish I had more for you there...

Hi

For those of you who are interested how I fixed it.

First I had too

"Check if the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WinTrust\Trust Providers\Software Publishing registry key is set to 0x63c00. This value is Microsoft's WinTrust policy selection flags, as described here. The 0x40000 flag means "Allow only items in personal trust database" and apparently, this clashes with FSX's ability to allow manual authorization of unrecognized DLLs, telling it instead to never trust anything outside the user's personal trust.
Unsetting this flag (putting it back to its default 0x23c00 value) returns all operations to normal and Flight Simulator X will once again be able to ask the user to designate the PMDG DLL modules as 'Trusted' software."


and then I had to reset my firewall.

It must have been me messing around trying to get Empeck's winch to work.

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Ben
