fs pax constantly freezing windows xp 32

Not a problem.

Anyway you don't need to un-install FSX before running the reg.tool.

Using this utility may avoid the need to reinstall FSX and allows you to restore the path in the registry quickly and easily.
I don't say it will work but i need to be sure you use it the tool the correct way

Hi recon,
ok i clicked set apth as i already knew about the 2 get paths (local machine and current user) then the same for "search reg"
So then i click "set path, then select fsx root folder and i find the fsx folder using the pop up box, im assuming i would select an "option"
which i would choose "add to current user key" then i hit "set fsx path"
Thats what ive been doing, my apologies if this is wrong, but as i am getting broken links when i go to my extracted folder and click "fsx
registry utility help"

Hi, after doing all ive been told, i am still getting these errors, this is becoming beyond a joke now, i have no option but to ask for my
money back, so if dan/flightsim store see this, then i want the full monies paid back into my bank account, if i were able to attach images
then i would!
Recon, if you would like to give me your email address i will send you screenshots just taken..
I look forward to hearing some kind of reply..

I am sorry to hear that the problem still occurs.

I can understand that it is frustrating and that you wish for a refund.
Well its not up to me to do the refund but up to Dan.
You have to contact him via the contact you'll find at the bottom of the page.
The only thing I just want to put out is that it is not all fair to blame the program as many others with xp-32 including me on my second pc
has it running fine.
It could be something else but it is difficult to help from a distance as we are just depending on your info.

As for the screenshot's,.....you can just place them here on this thread.

A explanation how to you'll find here:

Hi recon, many thanks for your reply once again,
I do realise people are running this without a hitch, and i cannot understand why this isnt working on mine, - i do know my way about my
pc reasonably well, and cannot for the life of me think what could be wrong, - i even thought earlier today that it was changing the settings
(ie transition alltitude, crew in light aircraft etc etc), but no, with everything default its still the same,








this last one shows the broken links for the registry editor that was advised to me to try.




As said before, i would rather have this fixed than a refund, but it looks like its just not oing to work!.
kindest regards
paul

Which version of Flight Sim X are you running, and with which service packs?

[flightsimman]

Hi whiskey zulu, its fsx with sp2, ive done all the install fsx run it then sp1, then run fsx again, then install sp2 and delete the fsx.cfg file
before running fsx, then ive ran fsx so it rebuids the cfg file, as advised on the vatsim forums a couple of years back.
Ive tried installing fsx, then just fspx, with no success, ive tried fsx then utx then fspax, with no joy either, then ive tried fsx, fspax, then utx,
with no joy, then ive tried al the above in different combos with pmdg md11 also, the thing is the same is happenening even with just fsx
and fspax, no matter how many times i try clean installs, (using registry editor as advised by dan) with no success, ive also used ccleaner
to remove registry keys, and ive even opened op regedit to delete them manually then re-installed it all as described above.
Any input you have to help me try get this working would be greatly appreciated, as i say - i would rather have this working than my money
back, but the way its looking i aint gonna get it working.
Kindest regards
paul

Try FSX with just SP1, then add FSPX.

[flightsimman]

Hi again whiskey,
Thanks for the tip, i'll try it just now, although what were the reasons we had to use fsx sp2?
so theres no confusion, i do use xp sp3, and fsx was sp2.

Back to another fs install i go.
regards

FSPX only requires FSX SP1 to run if not using the Delux version. If using the Delux version, SP2 (the defaulted SP) or Accelaration add-on is
required to run FSPX.

[flightsimman]

Hi whiskey,
Right ive tried it and no success, a couple of times the pc froze.
As i said, disregarding fspx, why do fsx users have to have sp2 installed? i acknowledge we dont need sp2 for fspx, but we still need sp2
for fsx surely?
Any other help would be greatly appreciated, on a side note, im going to download it yet again, and re-try it all once again.
regards
paul

[whiskey-zulu]

Which SP2 are you referring to? Windows XP or FSX's? If it's FSX's SP2 then FSX will run fine without any of the service packs. If it's XP, then
it's a compatability stability issue, to my understanding.

[flightsimman]

Hi whiskey, yes it was fsx's sp2 i was referring to, i know i have to have xp's sp2/3.
I have re-downloaded fspx and will try it shortly, i am sorry for any confusion i caused.
once again kindest regards for your assistance.

Hi whiskey, - i just cannot get this to work whatsoever, ive tried without sp1, then with sp1 and without sp2, then with sp2 again, - all with
fresh installs of fsx AND then fspassengers(always last to be installed).
As much as i really appreciate your help i think this problem has gone beyond that and i am not oing to get it working - i did have other
problems like a post above where the door kept on closing by itself but that seemed to sort itself with a fresh install.
I have contacted dan about my refund, but yet no answer, i shall contact him again.
Once again, many many thanks for your assistance.
regards
paul
