FSX Crashing all the time!

[AndyMinx]

Afternoon all!

As the thread title says, FSX is crashing ALL that time. I can't even get into the thing to look at settings etc.
As soon as I load it, the screen for free flight appears then about a second later, I get a CTD! :brick:

I tried re-installing but no luck!
I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium and FSX Deluxe.
My system is;

Asrock Conroe E-SATA II Motherboard
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.66GHz
4Gb Kingston 667 RAM
ATi Radeon X1950Pro 256Mb graphics
320Gb Western Digital HDD

All drivers etc are upto date.

Any help would really be appreciated! :think:

Cheers,

Has it only just started happening?
Have you tried deleting the fsx.cfg?

[AndyMinx]

Dave,
Started happening since I upgraded the PC and to Vista.

How would I find and thus delete this FSX.cfg?

Cheers,

[DaveG]

In Windows XP, the FSX.cfg can be found in:
C:\Documents and Settings\yourusername\Application Data\Microsoft\FSX

The application data folder is normally hidden, so you'll have to enable show hidden files to see it.

Don't use Vista so I can't say if it's the same

[AndyMinx]

OK cheers Dave I'll take a look.

Ok Deleted the CFG, restarted and got into the sim.
Loaded a free flight and all was ok until I tried to change aircraft.
Then I got the CTD again! :think:

Cheers,

Andy, did you do an in place upgrade or a clean install of Vista?

[AndyMinx]

It was a clean install Ben.
I just can't figure out why it's doing it!

Are you getting as far as the flight selection screen? It sounds like a driver issue to be honnest. I've had FSX on Vista since December and its been fine. :think:

What graphics card / driver are you using?
