Installing scenery to a different hard drive

<< < (3/3)

Hnla:
Why are you using Windows XP, and Fs2004..  ?

Are you aware that we are in the year 2013? Not 2003?

virtuali:
We still sell those products and lists them as compatibile with XP and FS9, which means, as long as we are selling them, any user is entitled to be supported.

Hi Umberto,

It appears that issue only occurs after a FS2004 crash.
Not a "clean" crash generating the usual FS box describing the cause of the problem such as: "FS encountered an error with module g2d.dll".
A real heavy one, with a frozen screen and PC reset needed or a OOM Windows message.
As the scenery.cfg file looked ok (no changes, nor wrong folder detected), I thought that it could be linked to the Addon_Mananger bglman.dll and bglman_fsdt.dat files and saved them on a separate usb key after clean install.
When the next crash occurred, before making an install again, I tried to replace the current files that could have been corrupted by the crash by the files I had formerly saved but the sceneries remain invisible. Not a solution.
I think I shall start putting money on my saving account and, as suggested by Boone, soon buy a new PC with the latest Windows OS (7, 8 or...) and install FSX, hoping that they will be compatible with each other :-(.
Sorry for the mess, I shall live with it.

Regards,
George

That seems to be something related to the video card drivers, because an FSX module doesn't have the ability to cause an hard-crash, only a low level system program, like a video driver, could do that.

Go with Windows 7 for now, Windows 8 isn't supported by most developers yet.

If you have any questions on migrating to Windows 7/ FSX, let me know! Although I don't know everything about Fsdreamteam products, I do have knowledge of computers, and FSX.
