• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Ok...totally out of the blue, FSX has decided to NOT run on my computer anymore. NOTHING has changed since I ran it 3 times this afternoon. But, now, when I run it, I notice in my Process Explorer that under it DXDIAG starts and runs. (never noticed this EVER before...) After a while, DXDIAG quits and DW20.exe runs, but never pops up an error window.

A small history, before this behavior, I launched FSX and got a strange error that there was some error in DXcheck or some shit like that (sorry, don't remember as I just thought it was some odd fluke...never happened before.) and then kept getting an FS crash with report error window. Got this like 5 times, then just decided to restart the comp..that usually fixes problems.

So now, I get the FSX window, and then it just sits there forever..but via the process explorer I see the DXDIAG and DW20....

Has anyone seen this before? Again, I have done NOTHING at all since I ran FSX several times earlier today.. Nothing to FSX, nothing to the computer... No programs added, nothing deleted. Other games all run just fine. Games that really put my graphics card to the test run just fine. So I know it isn't a graphics problem. But thought I would post here before I trash my FSX and re-install everything. (that's about 6 hours I don't have or want to spend!!!)

Were you mean to someone in a previous lifetime? So, how does Dxdiag start all by itself? And what is the result(if you run it)?
