Thanks for the input, Ian. The stick I have is quite old now (Cyborg Evo wireless) and has seen better days, so I may well replace it. Pete, This was for Vista 64, not Win7. Dave.

Pete, Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction :smile: It appears that the cause was the adaptor for the Saitek Cyborg wireless joystick. Removing that and uninstalling the software has got FSX working properly again. In appreciation of your help, I will be buying the registered version of FSUIPC. Dave.

Pete, Event Viewer had : Faulting application fsx.exe, version 10.0.61637.0, time stamp 0x46fadb14, faulting module dinput.dll, version 6.0.6000.16386, time stamp 0x4549bcd6, exception code 0xc0000005, fault offset 0x00013e3a, process id 0x13cc, application start time 0x01cd3b4fb0114f40. Dave.

Pete,, I added the lines to the ini file,and this was the log: ********* FSUIPC4, Version 4.831 by Pete Dowson ********* User Name="" User Addr="" FSUIPC4 not user registered WIDEFS7 not user registered, or expired Running inside FSX on Windows Vista Module base=61000000 47 System time = 26/05/2012 15:48:52 47 FLT path = "C:\Users\Dave\Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\" 110 Trying to connect to SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 ... 110 FS path = "F:\Flight Simulator X\" 437 LogOptions=00000000 02000011 437 Wind smoothing fix is fully installed 437 G3D.DLL fix attempt installed ok 437 SimConnect_Open succeeded: waiting to check version okay 437 Trying to use SimConnect Acc/SP2 Oct07 4431 Running in "Microsoft Flight Simulator X", Version: 10.0.61637.0 (SimConnect: 10.0.61259.0) 4431 Initialising SimConnect data requests now 4431 FSUIPC Menu entry added 4462 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 4462 c:\users\dave\documents\flight simulator x files\Lucy at Manston.FLT 4462 F:\Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\RealAir SF-260 Left Seat\SF-260.AIR 11108 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N 11435 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=Y, In Dlg=Y 131541 System time = 26/05/2012 15:51:03, Simulator time = 15:48:56 (14:48Z) 165346 Ready Flags: Ready-To-Fly=N, In Menu=N, In Dlg=N FSX attempted to go straight to my default flight instead of the Create Flight screen, but still had a Fatal Error. I did not have a [buttons] section in my ini file, so I added one with PollInterval=0, but still got a fatal error. Dave >

Also, Event Viewer has multiple instances of DINPUT.dll as well as API.dll, DSOUND.dll and NTDLL.dll as faulting modules. Dave.

I have been using FSUIPC for some considerable time without problems, but out of the blue I have a problem with it on my Vista 64-bit machine. When I start FSX, I now get this message: . As I was using an old version, I installed the latest, but get the same error message. If I answer 'no', FSX runs ok but without FSUIPC working. If I answer 'yes' FSX loads and runs ok, but on every subsequent restart FSX fails to start due to a Fatal Error. I have tried suggestions that I have found on this website, all to no avail. I have also tried repairing Acceleration without success. I then tried uninstalling Acceleration and repairing FSX before reinstalling Acceleration, but that didn't work either. Do you have any idea what else I can try? Dave.
