Blasted OOMs

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

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.

Hi James,

 

I had the same thing at some point. 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.

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.

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.

Try to avoid svchost.exe and/or explorer.exe when doing so, no matter how tempting it might be...
