FS9 crashes a sec after starting

After staring FS9.exe, I can see the loadscreen loading, and one sec later FS exits.

 

I didn't install anything new.

 

Running Win XP pro.

 

What can be the cause?

Sometimes the files can get corrupted, what I have done in the past when that happened to me was go into "my computer >local disk ©: > Docomeents and Settings > User > my docomeents > Flight Simulator Files

 

and delete all the files in there, all they are, are the flight plans you have generated, and one of them may have become corrupt, and when I did this, and started FS9 it started up fine in the default aircraft and the default airfield.

 

Worked for me, try at your own risk.

 

Cheers

Thank you for the answer.

 

I did exactly what you wrote... and still nothing.

 

Any other idea?

Try renaming your fs9.cfg file to something else so that Flight Simulator will revert to the default and create a new one.

 

You can find it by type %appdata%\Microsoft\fs9 into the run command box.

For FSInn/VATSIM issues, please test the FSInn Installation sticky and linked FAQ. It really works!

Nothing special. And the FS worked before...

I did it at first. The FS creates a new FS9.cfg and then i checked if something had changed, and still nothing.

 

It crashes with no error msg just after the loading screen.

 

I've no idea what it can be.

I was trying to open the Active Sky and see how it reponds.

 

The AS got details and started to work and got the metar of KSEA.

 

As FS gets to the main screen it crashes with no error msg, just exits.

I must say that now I was uninsatlling FS9 completely, and then installed again - and still the same problem.

 

What it can be now?

News!

 

I've installed FS9 on other partition (D drive. It was before on C) and now it's working.

 

What can be the problem?

i would hazard a guess at corrupt registry entries somewhere... when you uninstalled FS9 from the C drive did you remove all the add-ons first and double check that even the FS9 directory was deleted? some MS(uninstallers uite a few other companies as well now i think of it) have a nasty habit of not deleting everything from your drives so the traces still remain to mess up uninstalls.

I didn't check it, and the FS9 wasn't deleted.

 

But I'm still wonder what can be the problem.
