johnty Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Peter, Had an "out of memory problem" whilst flying on-line to-day. On restart of FS9, I had an error windo, but as far asw with the above statement . But as far as I can see, this is not so, see attachment, I did remove one .dll shown as .OLDdll but to no avail I still get the error message on starting FS9.

johnty Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Peter, Problem resolved, ran a registry cleaner and FS9 started up as normal. Still got the memory problem, but at least I can now try a few things. Regards JohnT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Dowson Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Hi Peter, Had an "out of memory problem" whilst flying on-line to-day. On restart of FS9, I had an error windo, but as far asw with the above statement . But as far as I can see, this is not so, see attachment The multiple cases of FSUIPC error can arise from having a hung (or not-quite-terminated) copy of FS still loaded in memory. The duplicate check finds the other one, which must have been still active. You cannot have two copies of FSUIPC running at the same time as applications will not know which to attach to. After any crash or hang, just because the FS window disappears don't assume that FS is not still running, albeit in a completely disabled state. Best thing to do is use CTRL_ALT_DEL to bring up the Task Manager, select Processes, find the FS9.EXE process and forcibly delete it. From your second message: Problem resolved, ran a registry cleaner and FS9 started up as normal. I doubt if the registry cleaner did it as FSUIPC doesn't use the registry. More likely that some time after the problem first occurred the stalled FS9.EXE process did terminate. Sometimes it does take a while -- if you are using WideFS, for instance, the process isn't actually killed until WideServer has told all its clients. Other add-ons also often do tidy ups which take time. On your main problem, in FS9 I think most out-of-memory errors occur because of Landclass scenery files placed incorrectly. You may have to go through a process of elimination to find the layer responsible. However there is, or used to be, a program which could check this for you. Sorry I don't recall the name. Best to ask on the FS2004 forum. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely that whatever was stopping it terminating relinquished. Regards Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
