Application Error Flight Simulator

[Guest]

Hi there,

I installed Flight Simulator 2004 on a Windows 2000 Professional system and everything worked fine.
I did a clean install (format hard disk) and installed XP Professional on the same machine where previously Flight Simulator 2004 worked on. After installing, after Windows Update, after a video driver update and after a Directx9.0 install I get this error message when clicking on the Flight Simulator 2004 icon:

Faulting application fs9.exe, version 9.0.0.30612, faulting module user32.dll, version 5.1.2600.1255, fault address 0x0000a310.

Can't find anything on the Net about this error message.

Got an idea? Thanks!

Hi Dieter,

Try reinstalling FS2004 as updating your system may have affected it.

Here's how to properly install or reinstall a game (and/or patch):
1. Backup any saved games and/or mods to a safe location.
Save games are often found in My Documents\My Games.
2. Uninstall the game using Control Panel / Add-Remove programs.
* Manually delete the game folder if Add-Remove doesn't work.
3. Clear any references to the game leftover in your registry using this
Registry Cleaner: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html
4. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
5. After a reboot close & exit your Antivirus and any other programs
using this method: http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=331796
6. Install the game again from your original CD, do not use a backup.
7. Don't reuse the saved games/mods until you properly test the game.
