Hey guys, I can't get to fly the PMDG 737-800 because FS9 keeps crashing every time I'm about to push back. I get a black screen and then a message pops up saying FS9 has stopped responding....restarting FS9. Im running windows vista ultimate 64bit edition and I also tried running fs9 in administrator mode and XP compatibility mode but to no avail. It has worked fine before....PMDG 737 until now. I haven't installed anything new. So I have no idea why this is happening. Please help.

Oh, I've also uninstall and reinstall the aircraft and that didn't work either

That's affirm Andrew but that didn't help. Strange thing is it only seems to happen in Atlanta (KATL) no where else...but then I can point a finger directly at KATL scenery because I fly in and out of KATL with the B757 and B767 without any problems at all. Only the B737 that's doing this and it doesn't occur anywhere else but KATL

Have you updated the AIRAC lately? Maybe it is having problems digesting something with the FMC and it is causing FS9 to CTD. The other thing to try would be to use the default PMDG textures and see if it happens there also. I have had a few textures with the NG that did not agree and would crash.

Ok guys, I updated the AIRAC file to the latest 907 but this time i did a flight to KMIA from TKPK in AAL colors. However I got the black screen just as I was about to turn base for RW 9. Usually you get an error code and what caused the error in a little message when fs9 crash, but all it says is that FS9 has stopped responding.....restarting FS9. Now I know that this is not only in ATL but it seems General. Andrew,hmm I'm not to skeptical about the system restore because it honestly don't think it does anything to changes in fs9.

Caleb,
When it does that again, there should be a hyperlink style line that says view details of this report click on it and see what is causing the issue, If it is a G3d.dll issue most likely it is a bad texture issue with AI aircraft, some add-on scenery or AFCAD that may be causing the CTD. Problem is, Add-on scenery many miles away can sometimes cause CTD's if something's broken, making it a huge challenge to diagnose. Sometimes it's easiest to find some obscure scenery change by doing a search for scenery.dat folders in your MSFS folder structure, then sorting them by date. MSFS always rebuilds them when it detects new scenery, so sorting them by date order gives a history, so to speak, on where scenery might have changed. The .dat files point to the folders where that changed scenery resides. Hope that helps

Anthony I found a couple duplicated AFCAD files and deleted them. I reinstalled the 737 again and updated the airac. Changed the DAL textures and still got the error while enroute. Only this time it was delayed until i was well into the flight and not on push back. The message is the same "FS9 has stopped responding" "Restarting FS9" then it disappears and FS9 restarts. Im so sick of it now, I don't know what to do.

Ok i found the problem...I went into Windows Vista maintainance log and searched for FS9 problems and found all the previous crashes including my most recent one and it turns out to be caused by "MSVCR70.dll" module. What is this module and what does it do? I'm going to check also If i can download a fresh one somewhere.

Problem solved! I was able to finally complete my KATL-KSMF flight without FS9 crashing. I downloaded a fresh copy of the suspected module file "MSVCR70" and VIOLA!!! No crashes on the flight. I'm so happy..lol. Thanks for the support guys.
