TheeAviationist 18 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Normally when i boot up FSX, it starts normally. But recently, it decided to crash on boot up each time. Any advide? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,426 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Try the following. 1. Delete FSX.cfg and let the system build a new one (make backup of original first) 2. Uninstall any recent/new addons to see if that fixes it. 3. Roll back Windows to an earlier time using Windows restore. 4. Re-install FSX. Not sure what other options you have, maybe someone can chipin. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 You're not giving us a lot to go on. > "recently, it decided to crash on boot up each time". What is "it", exactly? The whole machine? FSX (at boot up??)? (Or whatever...)? When it "crashes", what exactly happens? Are there any error messages? Anything in the Events log? Please help us to help you. Cheers, bruce a.k.a. brian747 [sorry, Joe, we must have been typing simultaneously] Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheeAviationist 18 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Sorry for being vauge. Here is what happens. FSX is the only thing that is affected. Thanks for the advice mutley, i'm going to try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheeAviationist 18 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 FSX.cfg did it. Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,426 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Great news! The only draw back is you have to OK the addons again when you load the sim. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce (a.k.a. brian747) 142 Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 OK, that's great. Well done, Joe! Cheers, B. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
