FSX hangs on start up

<< < (2/2)

micro:
Just another shot in the dark but I recently had a similar problem. Anytime I would start fraps with FSX running the screen would just freeze. I swore up and down that it had to be a software issue. Finally I took it in. My power supply was going bad and FSX+FRAPS was the straw that broke its back. They threw in a new power supply and everything seems to be running great. Anyway, just keep in mind that hardware does go south as well (not that that makes you feel any better).

Thanks, I must admit I had not considered hardware.

To round this out. Having removed the C-130 FSX Upgrade using System Restore I re-installed it and all went well.  Then I closed FSX and turned the PC off.

I restarted the PC and started FSX - it hung.  I turned the PC off and went for a refreshment to recover. I then restarted and tried FSX again.

It now works perfectly.  Starting FSX now is a little stressing, will it start or won't it?  The FSX start music is a really welcome sound.

Thanks for the suggestion,

Tregarth
