G3.5 Error Message VERY FRUSTRATING

[Greg Cothern]

I am running G3.5 on a Duo Core 2.40ghz 2 GB Ram NVidia Geforce 7300LE, while flying the program will pop up a error message:
Error
An unexpected error has occurred. Would you like to send an error report to Knife Edge Software?
Yes or No
Click on Yes it shuts the program down, click on No it shuts the program down, you have no other options as nothing else works.
I have emailed the DXdiag info and such to Real Flight tech support, they gave me instructions to search all files for .adj and then delete them, try again. And possibly un-install the software and re-install it, which I have done both multiple times to no avail same issue still happens. Sometimes before the software can completely open and other times as I have been flying for 2 or 7 or 15 minutes, Varies!
HELP!

Anyone else experience this problem???? I am very dissapointed at the moment with the situation. I have enjoyed the software until this and would like to continue to use and learn the simulator more but this makes it very very difficult!!!!

Greg,

I too had this problem and still get it from time to time. I contacted customer support and was told that it is likely caused by an error that is formed or created within one of the files needed to run to program. The fix for my machine is to start the software. At the launcher, select additional options, then "Restore Defaults". That should fix the problem.

Just tried it, while in the middle of going to the Sod Farm field and selecting my aircraft it did it again!!!!!
Thanks for the tip though I will keep trying!!

I get an error about every minutes. I just load it back up and keep on playing. You get used to it after a while. I know your frustration.

[Greg Cothern]

I dont know if I will EVERY get used to spending $200 and having to deal with this sort of frustration.
When reading the video card requirements from the site this card should be gravy!
Cant we all just FLY!!!! Without having to restart the software every couple minutes????

[Zelatio]

Short answer...nope.

Greg: try uninstalling your 3.5 completely, then reinstall 3.0 from your original disks. Then upgrade to the specific version 3.0.448 using the website. I predict you will have no more crashes. You will also have fewer cute little toys but your flight simulator will work better.
What's that you say? You bought 3.5 disks just a little while ago and you have no 3.0 disks? OOPS...I'd complain hard to the KE folks if I were you, as they sold you a defective product.
I doubt if "downgrading" to 3.0.448 will work properly from a 3.5 installation. It didn't for me and for a lot of others on these forums.

[Greg Cothern]

I never owned 3.0 only 3.5 from the discs. I am not very happy unfortunately!

[Zelatio]

So in others words you my friend are SOL. Try the downgrading thing, it may work. Complaining about a defective product is worth a try too.

I would hope Knife Edge would chime in here but they have not, I do not believe it is my video card getting overworked and hot as suggested.
As this morning first thing I did on the computer was fire up the simulator and before it could finish loading the airplane and field it shut down.
Either way I am very unsatisfied at the moment, as if you read their website for requirements I am above every listed requirement.

[Greg Cothern]

Believe we got it working now, found a just released driver for my NVidia card and seems have worked, time will tell.
Kudos to the support staff that have been so patient with me in trying to cure my issues.
