  1. Sorry Pete, I had googled for later FSCUPC versions and missed it. I'm brand new to this form, stumbled across this post first and just missed the "interim updates" post in this form. I deleted the FSUIPC4.ini and installed FSUIP4428. Still causing the APPCRASH. Apparently I didn't say what you wanted in the previous post, but I tried to give as much info as possible without making the post any longer than it had to be. As I said in the previous post, the only two addons I've got are CumulusX and Sim Probe which are both Simconnect, .exe apps and can be started after FSX begins running (or not). The APPCRASH 100% of the time has occured while FSUIPC is running, regardless of whether FSX is running stand alone of with the two mentioned addons, but not a single time when FSUIPC is not running, with or without, the addons. This is the reason I've "arrived at FSUIPC4 being the culprit". Honestly, Pete, I believe you missed the point of my whole post... I was actually trying to help you, as much as wanting you to help me. I've made my living since 1981 developing and supporting device drivers and accounting apps in Unix, Linux, and Windows, and have never been as defensive or quite as sure as you seem to be that my software always worked. I apologize if you believe I wasted your time in the first post and I still appreciate everything you've done with FSUIPC and hope to get this current version, or some future version working on my Vista 64. But if you don't mind Pete, I'd prefer that you not respond to this and that we both just move on. Thank you, Hal Williams
  2. I'm not sure if this is on-topic, or not... I'm running Vista 64, FSX sp2 (not acceleration pack), FSUIPC 4.40 Prior to reinstalling FSX about a month ago, FSUIPC worked fine. I believe I originally installed FSUIPC in order to see the demo of "FSFlyingSChool", which I only used for a day, or two, but FSUIPC continued running with no problems. The thing is, FSUIPC must have been pre 4.40, as I'm quite sure it was installed prior to Nov, 18 (FSUIPC 4.40 release). About a month ago I installed a free airplane and it broke FSX... started getting the APPCRASH screen. Reinstalling from the DVDs did nothing, so I carefully uninstalled FSX and then reinstalled, first from DVDs, then sp1, and then sp2. While I was at it, I decided to download the latest FSUIPC (4.40) and install it. The first thing I noticed was that FSUIPC was causing FSX to crash. Of course I would have tried installing the pre 4.40 version of FSUIPC, but I no longer had it. I reinstalled FSUIPC 4.40 a couple of times, and finally gave up, disabling FSUIPC in the xm.dll file. Since then, I have installed two Simconnect products (CumulusX and Sim Probe), and also the software SDK, mostly for the simobject placement tool. FSX, including the new installs have all worked great. Now I'm trying to FSUIPC to work again, as I've installed a gauge that relies on it. Of course, FSUIPC still crashes FSX, but this is what (I think) I've learned: The APPCRASH "module name" is always "API.DLL". It *only* crashes when attempting to load a new airplane, .flt file, or .pln file, but not always... I'd say there's about a 70% chance it will crash while loading one of these files, but there's no rhyme or reason to it... if I'm lucky enough to load the aircraft that uses the gauge that requires FSUIPC, without crashing FSX, it'll work fine. It doesn't matter whether CumulusX and Sim Probe are running. I've spent a long time trying to figure out what type files make it crash, or not, and can find no correlation. Once again, it only crashes when attempting to change aircrafts, load a .flt file, or load a .pln file. Peter, I appreciate all you've done in FSUIPC. Sorry for being long-winded, but did so in hopes it will help you, or someone, figure this out. Even though you've said it shouldn't matter, I'd love to try a pre 4.40 release, just to be sure. I'll be glad to work with you, and others, anyway I can...I'll try any reasonable suggestion. Let's get this figured out! :) Thank you, Hal Williams
