When I load a flight with the PMDG it freezes my keyboard! Let me explain:
I have done all the tests and all the PMDG NG (6/7/8/900) does this. It freezes my keyboard, I mean I can't switch views (pressing S) and I can't display the menu (pressing ALT). I have all the fixes for PMDG and I'm 100% sure only the PMDG does this. The strange thing is that yesterday it worked!!! I have FS9 and Vista, probably there's an incompatibility but yesterday it worked. Stranger, I can't unninstal the PMDG, but I re-installed it with no results. With this problem my today's flight canceled, but I would be really dissapointed if the PMDG doesn't work anymore.
Guess I'll have to fire up the Wilco CRJ. Any thoughts/comments Luke or any other DVA pilot?
If you want email me but please help.
Thanks a lot,
Marius

Only thing I could think of is that your FMC is tied up to your keyboard. If it is activated, anything you type should be showing up on your FMC.
Just a though, maybe someone else can chime in.

Nope, the FMC isn't automatically activated. Probably it isn't compatible with Vista and it did something to the registry. Anyway I'll fly the clasiscs (737) and the CRJ for some time until I figure it out (But I'm not going back to XP). Anyway thanks very much and if someone has an idea post it here.

Every plane that I fly now freezes the keyboard, so something crashed my registry. I remember my computer crashed a few days ago. Thankfully the Wilco 737-300 survived and the only key that doesn't work on the keyboard is ESC so I can do 1-2 flights until I have time to install the Windows and everything again. The bad thing is: How often does it crash? Sure nobody wants to install the windows every time the computer crashes...
Anyway thanks,

If you sometimes change the FS2004 default flight from the C-172 at KSEA to something else, the payware planes act up. Maybe it might cure itself if the default flight is reset.

fully uninstall em delete the exisitng folders, re install everything, including NAVIDS, AIRACs. If that dont work, try the PMDG forums, or email them about it, they will help you.

Nope, all the aircraft act the same, they don't work, FS9 crashes everytime I load a flight.... But I have a program that corrects the Windows files and if this doesn't work, then I'll put Windows again. I'm pretty frustrated, cause I can log even a flight!

You might try to delete your fs.cfg file and see if that fixes it before you do anything else. A system restore could fix it also. I have Vista and the PMDG and have no problem.

A restore doesn't work. FS now crashes at launch, I'm gonna use a program that corrects Windows files. If this gives no result, then I'll install Windows again. Anyway thanks.

I reinstalled FS and I have the same problem, but now it says that the FSUIPC is too old. I have V 3.75. I can't find the new V4.8. Can someone provide me a link or send it by e-mail? Help very appreciated. ***Edit***: Please post the link here: http://www.deltava.org/thread.do?id=0xe0b7 Thank you very much.
