Windows 7 and FSP?

[AAirliner]

I am running Windows 7 (Dont worry im a TechNet user) and its the RTM version that will ship in october. Im wondering if there will be any
conflicts between windows 7 and FSP i found that i always crash near the end of the flight and the announcements dont work. I will
reinstall and get back with results soon. Has anyone else exprerienced these problems in Win7?

Welcome to the funhouse Nick. The computer type people will be with you shortly. I'm the grumpy old man greeter

AA, a quick search of the forum will reveal numerous topics about Windows 7 beta,etc. I suggest you use the search function first. Just
type in "Windows 7" and see what comes up

Welcome aboard!

My problem is kind of obsolete at this point since i went back to Vista SP2, thanks for the welcome and advice though

There's a known bug, using FSX menus in Windows7. If you're getting CTDs on the ground, mid flight or towards the end of the flight, it's
most likely caused by this bug. To test this, go to any airport and keep moving your mouse over the FSX menus for a little over a minute, if
you'lll get CTD, you know you have a problem.

To fix this, you'll need a file from Vista (depending on your version of W7 32 or 64) called UIAutomationCore.DLL and place it in your FSX
directory. Then run command prompt and register the file by typing regsvr32 UIAutomationCore.dll

It worked for me and many other people.

Im running windows 7 with FSP for several weeks and have to date encountered no issues.

Me too - Running Windows 7 64-bit and no issues either.

Hmm, what did you do when you installed it, ive got it working with no crashes but there is no sound when i start a flight, not from the
captain, flight computers, or flight attendants

I haven't done anything, just registered the file with Windows 7 via command prompt. I didn't hear of anyone having any issues with sound
after this.

Hi All,
I own FSP for FS9 but upgraded to an i5 windows 7 64bit (Radeon 5770)machine recently and now run FSX.
I have very little on my machine apart from some scenery; FSAirlines client, FSEconomy Client, payware aircraft etc.. and have no issues.
On installing FSPax I have had "less than desirable" results you could say. I have gone through the forums and tried even the fixes that
would not apply with no result.
Right after installing FSPAX I either get
1) FSX startup logo - Nothing happens.
2) FSX Startup logo with FSPAX startup sounds(Announcements, baby crying etc.. - Nothing further happens.
Now, I have noticed that after I remove FSPAX it complains about FSUIP being corrupt but will run anyway, I close reopen and no furhter
issues.
So in summary, The minute I remove FSP everything works brilliantly.

Before anyone jumps down my throat, I am not blaming just FSP as I realise some people are running it on Windows 7 64bit but we all
run different configurations obviously, which is causing the issue and I would merely like to identify the differences in order to resolve the
issue. For instance, I have had to change my FSX.cfg to accomodate failings with the ATI chipset, I run the aero theme(Could be an issue)
etc.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled FSP and FSX as well.
I am not in favour of reloading my machine as I do not feel this is a solution as it could pop up anytime, I would much rather identify the
problem(I have been able to run FSP twice only but now it's pooched).

So, I guess what I'm asking for is a Windows 7 thread with known fixes and hopefully we can find a fix for this as I do not beleive I have
come across one yet.

Thanks
Kevin

Did you read any of this tread before posting as there are a number of possible fixes presented here.

[obwan]

As per My previous email %I have gone through the forums and tried even the fixes that
would not apply with no result.%
I will continue to troubleshoot though.

Well, I've still had no luck after uninstalling everything and reinstalling FSX and all components step by step(FSX; restart; run - SP1;
Restart; run - SP2; Restart; run - FSUIP; restart; run - FSPax; restart; NO - RUN....
Remove FSPax - FSX = 100%.

And you ran every install as Admin?

[obwan]

In short - Yes. As you can see from my previous post, I was very meticulous about how I re-installed all products. I will dig some more but
I'm getting to the end of what I can do as far as troubleshooting goes. Thanks.
