Fatal Error after installation of GVA and Zurich HELP!!!!!!!!

[Makisxenat]

Thanks but I run windows 7

How can I do that

[virtuali]

Right-click on the FSX.EXE executable, then select the Compatibility tab, and enable Vista sp2 compatibility.

Thank you

Just did that FSX will not even start ...

Then sorry, I'm afraid your situation is different, and we don't have other explanation for it.

Try this:

- Go into Control Panel, remove the Addon Manager, if you have an entry for it. Otherwise, remove both sceneries.

- Go into the FSX folder, verify that ALL bglmanx.dll files AND all the bglmanx*.dat files have been really removed. If not, removed them manually.

- Reboot Windows. Yes, this IS important. Do it, please.

- Turn the Antivirus OFF. Yes, this IS important.

- Reinstall the Addon Manager (or the sceneries you removed). Don't run FSX yet.

- Configure the antivirus to ignore the following files:

YourFSXFolder\bglmanx.dll
YourFSXFolder\fsdreamteam\Couatl\couatl.exe

- Launch FSX. At the request to Trust the Addon Manager, reply YES, to both question, the one by Windows and the one by FSX itself.

- If you get the error the 3rd party module can't be loaded, IGNORE IT, and ALLOW it to run, regardless of what it says. Don't worry if FSX crashes after having issued that message. It doens't matter.

- Keep trying and, allow 20-30 seconds between each tries. If after 3-4 times it's always the same, REBOOT Windows and try again. Yes, this IS important, do it please.

Thank you

However I managed to run it at compatibility for Vista SP 2 it took a very long time a reboot and still takes a long time to load ? however got the same fatal error

so frustrating

Will follow your directions, however I have two questions
1. shall I run it on Vista compatibilty?

2. All was fine after i reinstalled the addon manager today HOWEVER before the crashes started again I added a scenery and after that the problems started _I added My Traffic
Do you think it might have something to do with it?

You are reading the issue backwards: it's not the Addon Manager that makes both FSX and the video drivers crashing, it's probably something in your Windows installation that cause the crash: there's no way the Addon Manager, which is a normal executabie (so it runs in the normal application space), can crash the video drivers, that runs on an entirely different privilege level.

If the problem is happening in Windows, reinstalling FSX will not fix it.

[Makisxenat]

Thanks

as i said it runs fine when i delete the addon manager....so no geneva and zurich scene for me I loved them

[virtuali]

as i said it runs fine when i delete the addon manager....

As I've said, that doesn't mean much, something in Windows is *causing* the Addon Manager to crash, and the video driver (according to your report). And this makes FSX crashing because any .dll module that crashes, will make FSX crashes, regardless of the reason.

Your error is different from anyone else's because, according to your report, is a crash without any messages.

However, you should at least have seen the Windows crash window, that has an option to get additional details about the error. Do you have this ? What does it says ?

[Makisxenat]

there is no message when it crashes

Is there somewhere where I can search,

[virtuali]

there is no message when it crashes

You said:

Just says fatal error

If it says "fatal error", it means you are seeing a window with a message. This window should also have an option to get additional informations about the crash.

[Makisxenat]

I get no message and no option
I get a fatal crash screen saying windows is looking for additional information and then I get another message that FSX will start again

[virtuali]

I get no message and no option

According to what you wrote in the following line, you DO get a message.

I get a fatal crash screen saying windows is looking for additional information and then I get another message that FSX will start again

That's the message. Now we finally agree you DO get a message, you should have seen something like this:

Do you see the small arrow that allows you to enlarge the Window to read the error details ? Do you have it ?

[Makisxenat]

I only get the Fatal crash then windows is looking to a solution
without the rest (all the other lines you normally get) which is mind blowing

Immediately after that I get a message that FSX restarts

Again sorry if I sound like a fool more of a mac person the only reason i bought a pc is because of the FSX and windows 7 is driving me insane
