need help

[rc airplane nut]

Dad got a new computer two months ago and my rf3.5 worked great on it for about a month but now whenever I turn rf on a little window comes up that says realflight has stopped working. Anyone know what is wrong with it or know how to fix it? Also, I don't think the sim accualy quit working, because my dads google internet home page started doing the same thing at the same time. The computer has windows 7 if that has anything to do with it.

Find a thread called 'Asking for help! Read this!' and follow those instructions. You're really not giving anyone much detail to work with here.

I gave all the detail I know.

[rc airplane nut]

I can't find that thread.

That's not the one that is in the G3 section, but it will work. Post your diag dump as a file in this thread.

One problem, the rf launcher wont turn on. What do you mean by diog dump?

Also, my g4 demo is doing the same thing as my g3.5.

You have bigger issues if both don't work.

2 months? :eek:
Wow, that's a record. Usually takes my wife and kids 6 months to dork their PC.
No way are they allowed near Daddy's PC. :p

How's your dad about PC maintenance? Maybe it's time for some filesystem cleanup, removing software packages, helpers, etc... that you don't really need.
Something got on there that is messing it up.

Make sure he does it, you don't want to mess around with files he might need.

He is really bad at pc maintenance. But he does know a guy that is good with computers.

IMO... if the launcher won't work ...I would back up any custem content (custem AVs, CSs and swap page content) in the G3 folder that is in "My Documents"
and try to Un-install /Re-install RF using the Windows "ADD /Remove Programs"
(you'll find it in the "Control Panel") and see what happens
(make SURE you DO have the serials#'s for both the discs/and interlink)

I have tried that but it wont uninstall.

If the launcher does not start and it will not un-install, are you sure it was installed in the first place, LOL.

I can't believe it won't un-install?

Very strange.

[Maj. Numbskully]

That IS strange :confused:

Very strange.
It was installed, I used it for several weeks.

[Norton]

Is it still installed?

Not being able to un-install it does not sound right.

I just noticed this:

"Also, I don't think the sim accualy quit working, because my dads google internet home page started doing the same thing at the same time."

There are other issues going on here that are not Real Flight related.
