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.

  2. My friends, I think most people running P3D are aware that many in our community suffer from Out of Memory errors (despite using the recommended methods to avoid them) and there are also those who like me don't have this problem. While reading a particular post this evening, I wondered if DX11 doesn't have some residual mirror allocation going on, or if there might otherwise be some relationship between OOMs and those with video cards that contain higher amounts or VRAM. In other words, some type of relationship which might result in someone with a video card having 4GB, 6GB, 8GB, etc., with all things being equal, be more prone to suffering an OOM than someone w…

    I have also posted this on flightsim but thought maybe someone will see it who doesn't go there. Hope that's ok. About two months ago I bought a new computer and, of course, it came with windows 10. I read as much as I could about the FSX problems, then went ahead and began installing FSX Deluxe. Everything went well all the way through FS Global Asia, Europe, and the Americas. I kept starting FSX to make sure the installs went well. I was finally installing Aerosoft products (the first 5-6 went well) then all the sudden I got the "fatal error msg. I rebooted the computer then tried to start FSX but after just a few seconds the message comes on the FSX shuts down. I hav…

    Hi all, I wonder if someone can help me? because I have run into an issue I cannot fix. I have just reinstalled FSX SE back onto my win 7 64 bit machine. It is stock standard with no tweaks to the config. When I go to the setting screen and after adjusting the items I need to adjust I click on the "OK" button and then the game freezes causing a shut down and restart. It does not matter which of the tab screens (display, aircraft, scenery, weather and traffic) I am on it happens on all of them. If anyone has any idea I would be greatful for your advice on how to fix this. Thank you. Oh,I am also getting script errors when I come into the home screen on startup. r…

I did everything you said and keep getting the undhandled exceptions :( I looked at the windows event log and also saw that FSX tries to disable the Desktop Window Manager, maybe its related?

  13. Hi folks. I am working through the nice CTD Guide you have on this forum, trying to find why FSX is hanging on my Win7x64 PC, and before I get into posting tons of info and stuff about my PC and what diagnostics I have done, I have a question. When I run FSX and Process Monitor, I see a bazillion listings that show HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\APL - NAME NOT FOUND. Online research has shown me that HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\APL has to do with running 32 bit apps on a 64 bit OS in some capacity to translate things between 64 and 32 bit. But why the seemingly incessant barrage of attempts for this particular listing? There must be many hundreds of t…
