James Dinsdale 1126670 Posted July 21, 2014 at 10:55 AM Posted July 21, 2014 at 10:55 AM Hello all, I did a complete format of my computer a few days ago and began the long process of installing my FSX files back into the computer. I Have currently made sure my graphics are up to date, have FSUIPC installed and the same settings I used prior to my reformat within FSX (where I experienced no OOMs). However, this time I am getting OOMs within the first few minutes if not after the loading reaches 100%. Does anyone have any ideas what I might have forgotten or what I would need to do? I have installed the Jesus FSX.cfg recommending the changes that arn't in the bog-standard CFG that you get when installing FSX. Regards, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Tyndall 1087023 Posted July 21, 2014 at 01:32 PM Posted July 21, 2014 at 01:32 PM James, I would save your current cfg, especially if the changes were time consuming, under a different name in a safe folder somewhere else. Then I would delete your current FSX.cfg and let FSX build a "default" one the next time you start up FSX. If you get no OOMs then you will know something you did to your config is giving you the OOM. Randy Randy Tyndall - KBOI ZLA I-11/vACC Portugal P4 “A ship is always safe in the harbor.

There is a dll from Windows Vista you can drop into the sim folder to correct this. I'll post the name when I'm at my sim computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Hellman 1275418 Posted September 5, 2014 at 08:56 PM Posted September 5, 2014 at 08:56 PM Not sure if you are still experiencing them but for me adding UIAutomation.dll from Windows Vista to the FSX installation folder fixed it. If you search for UIAutomation.dll and FSX you will find a download for the file. //Mats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus holmes Posted September 8, 2014 at 10:14 PM Posted September 8, 2014 at 10:14 PM James Have a look at your task manager, and see if there are any processes that are using a lot of memory that are not related to flightsim. You can free up some memory by deleting some of the processes from the task manager prior to starting up flightsim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted September 8, 2014 at 10:30 PM Posted September 8, 2014 at 10:30 PM Try to avoid svchost.exe and/or explorer.exe when doing so, no matter how tempting it might be... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
