I carried out all that you advised and, guess what, MSFS started as normal. I cannot thank you enough for taking the time and effort to get me this far. I knew that forum members was the place to go for help. Thanks once again. Joe

I have reinstalled Windows as suggested but still have dll error in MSFS. I don`t know where to go from there. Joe

Many thanks for that Pete.I intend to tackle your advice tomorrow (Monday).I have some health problems that do not allow me to spend too much time at the computer. After my reaction to give up on it, I thought "What the hell", too many guys have offered their help it would be churlish of me to give up. Joe

Well Nick, I can assure you that I carried out to the letter the advice given. The dll that is troubling me is---ucrtbase.dll version 10.0.19041.789 Do you think this will help? I still cannot understand how the sim worked and installed the mandatory update on one day and next day the dll struck. Joe

Given up altogether, nothing seems to work, £109 quid down the drain. Thanks for all your advice Joe

Sorry Steve that I missed you out.

Done both of what Nick and Pete suggested but still getting dll problem. Sorry I am late with my reply,I had a few days with a slight infection. Nice to hear from you. I`m tearing what is left of my hair with this problem. I find it odd that the sim started to download updates and yet next day nothing. Nick, I used the Gen Discussion because I had reckoned it was a Wndows problem.

I have done what Nick suggested and am waiting till tomorrow to see what happens.As for Pete`s suggestion I will try that if Nicks does not. Because of circumstances, I have not been in the Forum for a couple years and I am glad I did now. I know where the simmers help is. If neither advice works, well thats life. If does, you will be the first to know. Anyway, Thanks for your help. Joe.

Thanks for that Nick, Their were posts on other forums but none of them worked. Joe

I have had MSFS installed in a specially built computer and all went well with it until a couple of months ago. Yesterday I launched it and installed the mandatory update, leaving other updates to another time. Today, I attempted to launch and immediately , black screen as usual, then ctd. Checked event viewer and problem is missing dll, this has gone for months with attempts to install runtimes and individual dll`s without success. You can imagine my frustration on the sim starting yesterday and today, zilch. Any ideas please.

Aye, aye loon, foo are ye dein? I guess that is the type of question you would have had from your neighbours. Broad Doric is a North east scotland dialect, in my mind more a language on its own. Joe

Hello Nick, I just cannot edit the scenery ini file. I have tried a number of text file openers to no avail. When using Notepad, the cut is greyed out.

Hi guys. 87 last October, when I am 90, will start to go back. Joe
