Couatl stays running

(1/7) > >>

Angelo:
I am having a slight problem with my Sim at the moment. I am noticing after I complelty close FSX to the desktop, my mouse pointer shows with a "Wait" cursor next to it, the blue circle. When I check my running programs in task manager I can see two Couatl 32 running in the list, and they refuse to close even if I try to end the task.

On a hunch I completely uninstalled GSX and the Addon manager along with Couatl and the problem went away. I could load and close FSX and the wait cursor would disappear when it should. As soon as I reinstalled it, the problem immediately came back.

The only way to get rid of the wait cursor is to reboot the machine.

Any ideas as to why this is happening?

Edit: I re-ran the sim and now when I check task manager again there are now 4 Couatl running in the list. This is after I shut down the sim and some time has passed. I am also unable to end the task forcefully so I am not sure what else to do.

This shouldn't simply happen, and it's even less normal that you are not allowed to close it with the Task manager.

Maybe it's another addon that is preventing to close it, you might try editing your EXE.XML file located at %APPDATA%\Microsoft\FSX with a text editor, and try disabling all modules except Couatl.exe  (set their <disabled>False</disabled> to <disabled>True</disabled> ) and see if the problem goes away.

Angelo:
Okay, I disabled everything except couatl.exe and the exe.xml. The problem is still there, what should I do next?

Try to do the same with the modules in the DLL.XML, except the Addon Manager.

Angelo:
Okay I did that, and that seemed to have fixed the problem, now should I re-enable them? I will await your reply.

Right now I have items disabled in the exe.xml and dll.xml
