:!:PLEASE HELP!! FS Crashes when I try to resize Host Window

[Timothy Haibach 918060]

I have run out of ideas and the clock is ticking down to the Winter Defrost I'd like to attend tomorrow on VATSIM. No matter what aircraft I have loaded, when I try to resize the host (grey window) that appears, FS crashes to the desktop. Only one aircraft, the Fanda Dash8-300 allows me to resize or click between FS and another program I have running on my taskbar without problems. I have the latest FSUIPC.dll and registered it. Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? I will offer a reward within reason if you can help me solve this problem (that means $$$). The only thing I can think of it may have something to do with the Dreamwings EMB 170 I have installed. I don't have any add-on scenery installed but do have the FS9 update. My friend has the update as well and he's not having problems.

 

Thanks in advance....my email is [email protected] and would reward the first person with the successful fix.

The only known fail I can refere right now is the subject "4. Squawkbox "SB Host.exe". "

> but do have the FS9 update

No problem but Note that FS9.1 (FS2004 SP1) require a later version of FSUCIP than FS9.

also,

try starting flightsim in windowed mode

with a default plane,then switch to the plane you want,and full screen mode,

see if that cures your problem.

 

cheers
