Crash To Desktop (CTD) Forum

CTD's are a simmer's nightmare. This subforum is established to specifically discuss CTD's. Please do not place CTD messages in the main FSX, FS9, or P3D forums. If you do, they will most likely be moved to this forum.

    Can anyone help me with this ? When loading FSX I get the opening screen OK then the first page where you select your aircraft etc, as soon as I click on "change" to select a different plane I keep getting an error message which says " FSX HAS ENCOUNTERED A FATAL ERROR" the window goes opaque and FSX shuts down. I had been flying all morning no problems, took a break, went back to it and I get this. No hardware or software changes had been made prior to this happening. My PC specs are here and I am running FSX with acceleration on Win 7, 64 bit Any advice appreciated. Thanks, Buster.

  2. Hi guys, not sure if anyone's had similar problems (I've tried searching to see if anyone has, but not found anything). I've been having this problem for a few weeks now, It happens when I change views or go from windowed to full screen mode. My aircraft will disappear and this is then accompanied shortly afterwards by a CTD. Its happened with QW757, LVLD767, and even with Aerosoft's Keflavik X scenery addon - so its not an isolated problem. My initial guess is its a graphics problem but I'm not computer wizard so I was wondering if anybody could help me please? I've attached a Screenshot of a recent lvld767 flight I did (the same thing has happened with the qw757. This…

    Hi I have a really annoying problem, The first time i load the flight everything goes fine, but then later during the flight (it might be after 5 minutes or it might be after 2 hours...) When FS needs to load again... Then the loading freezes when "traffic is being loaded"... it doesnt CTD, but just freezes... My guess is that I might have two AI traffic-thingys installed... maybe I have two colliding ai-packages or something? anyway I can see if this is the case? and if so... anyway I can remove one?:-)

    So much fun flying all that way then lining up for the runway then...CRASH. I was getting tons of different .dll crashes usually about 30min to 1hr or so into a flight. The UI and api were the most common. Figured it was my overclocking so raised the voltage, was better but still crashing pretty reliably. Turns out the solution was to disable my antivirus, in this case MS Security Essentials. And I lowered my voltage back down too. Hope this may help others.

    Hello, My CTD experiences have been few and usually dealt with OOM errors. However, over the last couple of weeks, I've been getting a CTD that results in a dialogue box stating "Failed to read from file". The only changes I make to my FSX are usually additions of scenery products, and this error has occurred in both default and add-on sceneries. I've been running FSX on the same system since December virtually error-free. You can see my specs on my profile. Does anyone know what file FSX is trying to read when this error happens? Does this have to do with file corruption? Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

    I am aware that this has been brought up before but I still haven't found a solution: A few days ago I was repeatedly attempting a certain part of a flight (from a saved point) until I got a fatal error - I don't exactly remember if this was when it happened - but was not particularly worried as this has happened a few times before. However, when I went to start FSX the next day, I would get a little way into the starting blue box before a little window appeared saying a fatal error had occured and FSX would have to close. I tried the UIAutomationCore fix but this didn't work, nor did starting as administrator or launching in compatibility mode (I am running windows…

  7. Can someone please translate to a non IT-language what is causing this error? Getting really sick and tired of not having completed my last 6 attempts of a VATSIM flight because of this error... Any help really appreciated!

  8. good day folks, As the itle suggests i keep getting the "fsx has encountered a probem and needs to close" Ive tried the automation.dll fix (even though im on xp32 ), as most of the time the crashes occur when either right or left clicking drop downs or view change etc. This crashed even when ony fsx is running with no addons. Ive tried checking the minidump, and although i have checked the settiins - enabe minidump log reporting, which is checked i cant find out why its crashing, Any help would be appreciated, - memtest results are ok, hdd seems to be ok, temps are fine, Intel e6850, p5n32esli (bios 1903), xms 2048 6400c5 ram 4g(2X2) nvidia gts 860…

    So all has been running smooth for over 9 months and yesterday had my first CTD. I know i should be happy that it has taken this long. I had just updated 2 pcs of software, GSX and flightbeam KPHX. I loaded a flight on the NGX from KLAS to KPHX and 20 min in flight I had my first CTD.

    This has been going on since I downloaded the airac cycle from 2 months ago. I downloaded the update for the CS 57/67/77 and the Wilco Airbus series. And it has happened with both of the aircraft. What happens is when I am inserting the flight plan, while still on the ground, it freezes then stops. The best example I have is I was flying the Wilco a321 from CLT to PHX. Going along the flightplan everything worked until I tried inserting J4/SSO, when fsx froze waited 3 or 4 seconds then crashed. I have talked to some other people about this and they suggested it might be a corrupt airac file, so I went back and re-downloaded it, and re installed and still got the same resu…

    Well from high's to lows. I just got DX10 working nicely and all of a sudden the next day I started FSX and get an fatal error on start up. Initially I was getting the "FSX process not found. FSX handle: 0" which I know is related to EzDok. Over the past few days all I have changed is adding DX10 Shader Fixes V3.0.0 and updating FSDreamteams Coatl as prompted by FSX. In trying to chase this down I have done the following (any deletions with backup of original): - deleted the CFG - deleted the EXE.xml - deleted the dll.xml - Run the Simconnect.msi - Run the Flight1 FSX registry - Deleted and reinstalled Ezdok - Reinstalled general installer from FSDT The only…

    I did a flight from Gatwick to Brussels in the NGX and about 5 minutes after departure I selected spot view to check the weather around me as I'd just bought OPUS. As I panned around in spot view I noticed the engines sounded like they were increasing and decreasing in thrust. I then when back to the VC an realised my plane was just suspended in mid air with everything still running (instruments and sound) has anyone else experienced this? It was almost like an active pause that I couldn't unpause. Thanks

Request for help on diagnosis / troubleshooting the following weird issue- During routine flights, usually after about 30 mins or so, my Windows 7 box will suddenly freeze up during FSX and a LOUD BUZZING SOUND will come from the speakers (not the PC).

  15. Hello all. The problem of blocking FSX because of "ui.dll" then a few days later with "Simprop.dll" is resolved and was a good adventure and rich in information ... and problem solved. At the time I write these lines I do not know anything about this incident caused by that damn "Ui.dll." I investigated seriously ... I still investigates.

    Hi AVSIM gang! So I spent some time putting my comp specs, so please take a look and tell me how the heck I get FSX to run as smoothly as I truly believe it can on the beast that I built. I have Win7 64 bit PRO and when FSX is installed without any add ons except accellerator. It runs beautifully. I tested out a few flights, short, medium and long haul with default aircraft..no problems. Today I added Just Flight F-Lite A320, it loaded without a problem, I do have FSX installed in it's own directory (learned that the hard way) and I input a flight plan, short haul, SFO-LAX. Had a smooth push back, start up, taxi out and got to the end of the runway, switche…

  21. Reinstalled FSX on my system back in February and experienced nothing but CTD's, usually within 15-25 minutes following take-off. I even posted here looking for help - http://forum.avsim.n...-use-some-help/ As you can see, nothing seemed to have worked, that includes the dll I downloaded (against my better judgement I might add) and I eventually paid the price for that. I'm pretty PC literate, and I know damned well pulling dll files off the net is a terrible idea as they are typically loaded with a virus, this one was FYI. Long story shot, lengthy reformat process and OS install and I decided to give FSX one more try. Exact same CTD events on both my gaming lapto…

I tried this a few times more and always the same problem I then uninstalled SP3 and now it doesn't even start up properly anymore. I start it and before it goes into the flight, FS stops with he MSG Program has stopped working Before I uninstall all and re install all (which is going to take me ages) Any ideas what I can do to get it running again?

    For some reason I often get ntdll.dll crashes when I change views... This seems to be somehow related to sounds, when I switch view (using keyboard) from cockpit to outside view often sounds either disappear or get weird for few seconds before FSX stops responding and crashes. Seems to happen more with payware aircraft such as PMDG 737NGX & QW Avro. I use Win7 64 bit, I7 2600k 3.4ghz, 8GB of RAM and Radeon 6990 graphics card and FSX.cfg put through bojotes tweaking tool long time ago and had no crashes before.
