I am a new to flying virtual airlines. After installing FSX on my Windows 7 64bit machine, I was not having any issues. I installed squawkbox 4 and that is when I started seeing problems. It took much longer for fsx to load, but the biggest issue is when I try to use squawkbox. I am trying to make my first flight and I get squawkbox started and start the flight. I normally don't get that far when fsx will freeze and then nothing else happens. I have tried reinstalling it, making sure I have the newest version. I do get to where I am chatting with ATC, but then the program freezes. Also, I have tried starting squawkbox before and while in FSX.
Any help would be appreciated.

I found a working solution here: http://forums.vatsim.net/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=36839&start=45
"First of all, make sure your FSX is set in "run this program as administratror"
second of all, make sure that FSX version of SB4 is set in the same way as above
Third of all, start FSX
Fourth of all, go to file directory and find to doubleclick on SB4 FSX version, NOT FS2004/2002. This will start and open SB4 as separate program. Wait few moments. Then exit from SB4 and close it. Then use fsx module on FSX window to start SB4 which will show up inside FSX
That will run smoothly without problems.
You may experience rare occassion of C++ error message. What you should do is FIRST save the flight by pressing ";" button. Then click cancel on that error message. FSX will resume the flight. If not, you can restart FSX and go back to saved flight to continue the flight and relog into SB4. The C++ error message usually happens when other Vatsim pilot or ATC tries to contact you via private message."
So far, so good for me.
