bglman.dll causing FS9 to crash!

So weird. :( Never mind. Thank You very very much for your help sir!

I'll have to do it the hard way and maybe reformat the computer and install everything from scratch. Any advise whether i should stay on 64 bit or go back to 32bit?

virtuali:
Difficult question, because it depends what else you do with that computer.

If I had to use a PC just for flying, and with FS9 only, I'd use XP 32.

swadeep:
Well I use fsx also but time to time and plus 32bit version won't utilize all the ram I have right?? So to prevent OOM also maybe shud stick with 64 bit??

virtuali:
Yes, on a 32 bit OS, you can't use more than 3GB for an application, even if patched. However, under x64 OS, a 32 bit application (when patched), can only use up to 4GB, even if you have more ram. So, in order to use ALL your 6GB, an application should be a native 64 bit app.

So, it really depends by *how much* you are exceeding what would be the otherwise standard limit of 2GB per process.

If FS9 + your addons are taking, let's say, 2.5 GB, you would need to patch FS9.EXE, but it would run well even with Windows 32 bit, since you can have up to 3GB there. It would not run much better with 6GB, the only difference would be that the system will have more space for disk chache, on a x64 OS.

If, instead, your FS9 + addons is taking more than 3GB, than you don't have any other choice to use x64, which can go up to 4GB per 32 bit process (when patched)

Of course, FSX might be more taxing on RAM so, if you use FSX as well, it might be better (considering you already *have* 6GB) to use x64. But in this case, I'd wait for Windows 7.

Hi Virtuali!

Great News I think. I have reformatted my computer and went with Windows VISTA Ultimate 64 bit again and this time I decided not to install anything in the computer first except FS and updated it to 9.1 and applied the no cd crack and then as you said:

Installed AMS first then remove the three bglmans and then install all three FSDT sceneries. Now I can enter FS and managed to reactivate all the four sceneries!! Thank You so much! Don't know why it wouldn't work before!! Anyway let's hope there won't be any problems now. I am thinking of purchasing FSDT Geneva and Las Vegas also and i hope it doesn't mess anything up! Thank You once again.

Your help is very very much appreciated and thanks for a super quick reply and wonderful products!!!

Now I will go through a long process of installing everything again so that tonight i can fly into Amsterdam!!

Best Wishes
Swadeep
