Trouble getting SB to connect

I have recently upgraded to FS9 and since then I constantly have problems connecting with SB2.3. Here are the steps I follow.

 

1. Start SB Relay

2. Start FS9

3. Connect to FS MP *works fine

4. Start FSHost *works fine

5. Start SB2.3

 

I can get to the point where it finds the active MP session, but when I try to join, I get an error msg "Squawkbox has encountered a problem and needs to close". In the MS Error dialog, it says App Name: squawkbox.exe, ModName: user32.dll.

 

I end SB and then wait a minute before trying to start it again. Sometimes I must do this 3-4 times before it finally lets me join the session and then I can connect my aircraft.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mike

I'm not sure what you mean.

 

In FS9 you should use FS MP "Join".

 

Make sure you do as supposed for FS9, its some difference than FS2002.

 

Read the PRC, and the Troubleshoot at http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?p=2262#2262

 

You might for FS9 have problem with HostSB.dll
