Mark Thornton Posted June 12, 2008 at 06:46 PM Posted June 12, 2008 at 06:46 PM Hi all, I formatted the harddrive on this computer almost a month ago now (installed XP Pro, previously had XP home) and haven't really tried to fly online since due to exams. At times when I have tried to connect including today, FS crashes to desktop without warning/error about 30-60 seconds after squawkbox/fsinn has connected to the multiplayer session. I am however able to connect manually using an IP address without problem. I've also done a couple of flights offline with no issues. Everytime it crashes it's logged as the following in the microsoft event viewer Event Type: Error Event Source: Event Category: None Event ID: 0 Date: 12/06/2008 Time: 17:09:05 User: N/A Computer: THORNTONDESKTOP Description: The description for Event ID ( 0 ) in Source ( ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: 7. Any ideas?? Mark.

Larry James 901346 Posted June 12, 2008 at 07:29 PM Posted June 12, 2008 at 07:29 PM I'm sure I can help you with setting up FSInn. Follow closely the steps in the first message in the FSInn help forum (Announcement: Installing FSInn). It starts from downloading the latest version of the software, includes a reminder to remove the previous version to avoid conflict, all the way to actually connecting to VATSIM. So rather than me trying to tell you each item one by one, asking you the version number you're running, and whether you did an uninstall when changing versions, and all the other details of the published procedures, I asking you to start there. -- L.

Mark Thornton Posted June 12, 2008 at 08:08 PM Author Posted June 12, 2008 at 08:08 PM Hi Larry, I've used FSInn for the best part of 2 years so it's not the installation thats the problem The fact that the same thing happens when both clients connect to the multiplayer is the strange thing. Mark. [edit: FSInn was installed on a formatted drive so theres no conflict of versions and i'm using FSInn 1.3/Copilot 1.7. Sorry just realised from my original post that it looks like i've never connected before. I've just been on a break from online flying due to exams] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Thornton Posted June 14, 2008 at 03:17 PM Author Posted June 14, 2008 at 03:17 PM Just done a reinstall of FS and it's now only got FSCopilot/FSInn on it but still the crash. Also tried with just squawkbox installed and windows firewall/AV turned off...same problem. Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Thornton Posted June 14, 2008 at 06:44 PM Author Posted June 14, 2008 at 06:44 PM Nope it's a clean FS reinstall. I've tried just FS and Squawkbox...FS crashes after connecting.

Lennart Vedin Posted June 14, 2008 at 07:44 PM Posted June 14, 2008 at 07:44 PM 1. If you should say FS + Squawkbox 3 crash after a while, then I should say disable uPnP in the router if you use router, 'cause Squawkbox 3 have this issue with uPnP. But for FSInn it is not recommended to turn off uPnP in the router and it should not be a problem. 2. AV turned off from user-menu mean you dont know what the AV really turn off or not. It does typical NOT turn off the AV so that issues disappear. Only uninstall AV may make an AV issue to disappear. Make sure you have a firewall while try. If you use router, you can disable all firewall in the computer, else you must have firewall in computer all the time when connected, e.g. Windows built in firewall. For trying Squawkbox 3 (SB3): 3. Try run SB3 from program-menu and not from FS-menu, SB3 will then run in a separate process and not in same as FS. Initially try run FS in window-mode and not in full screen mode. 4. An other solution, but not free, is to run SB3 in an other computer then FS. Computer, local network and payware WideFS are required. / Lennart Vedin / Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Thornton Posted June 15, 2008 at 10:36 AM Author Posted June 15, 2008 at 10:36 AM Thanks Lennart. Running Squawkbox outside of FS did bring up an error when it crashed. It was the imon.dll file that is used by NOD32, my anti-virus. I remember having to do something with NOD32 last time I was on a clean HDD install but it was years ago now. I've added all the FSInn files to the IMON (internet monitor) exception list and all seems to be working now fingers crossed. I'm flying in the VATEUD event tonight hopefully so i'll know for sure then! Thanks, Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows Firewall should suffice during the interim. There are lots of alternate free antivrus programs that are more tamable that you can consider, such as AVG and AVAST. -- L. James -- L. D.
