Internet Explorer Version 7 and FS9 Crashes

In June I installed the new version IE (IE7 VER 3 BETA) . I have really come to like it and until today it works flawless. However when I ran the Kneelboard which is IE based, FS9 basically crashed and rebooted. A quick call the MS Technical Support solved the problem. First of all, I would like to give a quick thanks to Benzil in Tech Support for his professional assistance.

You have THREE options:

1. Uninstall IE7 not a great option if you like the program
2. Pay me $500.00 and i'll fix it :dance:
3. Fix it yourself instructions below:

A. Goto your main FS9 folder (C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9)
B. Locate the following file oleacc.dll
C. Rename it to "oleacc.dll.old" (rename without quotes)

That fixed the problem. Any questions feel free to call me toll-free worldwide (01-800-READTHEINSTRUCTIONS)

LOL. Blasphemy?

I keep away from MS wherever I can.

I've been using Firefox and Thunderbird for a while now and have never regretted it!

In the early days Firefox had problems loading some sites, but that's all history now.

Faster, friendlier and much less hungry in terms of resources.

And no gaping security holes! :shock:

If only Mozilla made FS. :green:

I've just installed Firefox. Looks good so far.

Don't forget to download some skins. The default looks a bit crap.

Thanx Chris. I'll do that now.
