    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated Tom Clayton has offered to post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

nvlddmkm.sys bsod/ctd uneducated possible fix

Peg o my heart

...and black screen.

I have been working on this issue for almost a week. Including reformatting, reinstalling windows and clean fsx. Prior to crash, I didnt update any video, sound, bios, tool drivers. My fsx.cfg hasnt been altered for almost a year, and suddenly the glitch popped up out of the blue every time any aircraft is loaded on the runway.

Perhaps the most significant update was the vrs superbug and tacpack to version 1.4.2 .8.

I did almost every tip I could find in the internet as well as changing 5 nvidia drivers. but the bsod/black screen/ctd/freeze persisted. Just before I decided to buy a new GPU, I did this nothing-to-lose attempt. I deleted the nvlddmkm.sys file. I think it solved the issue. If things go as expected this could save 300 dollars for a new graphic card. Hope this could be useful for future reference since there are only few discussions concerning fsx related nvlddmkk.sys bsod.

Some think this file is not essential, some say it is in fact dangerous although more official forum statements state this file could affect the performance. Well I dont notice that so far.

Btw, you could always browse the issue and you will find perhaps thousands of similar problems.
