Hi everyone. I am new to FSX and have continued to get the OOM error. I have no add-ons and have reduced my sliders. I am currently at work so I do not have my specs handy. I know I have a 3.5 Ghz processor, 8Gb of RAM and a Radeon R9 graphics card.

Any suggestions?

I will try this as soon as I get in tonight. Thanks in advance Radar!

Hope you guys don't get annoyed with me as I grow and learn. I am very excited to figure things out. I am taking it slow and have only flown the stock Cessna 172 and the Beechcraft Baron.

So, I tried the Microsoft "Fix It" download, but its says , "This Microsoft Fix It does not apply to your operating system or application version".

Any other suggestions?

I don't know what OS you are using but see if this applies.

Thanks Radar! I flew some last night and had no shut down issues. I did experience a few issues during one of the flights to where the outside would change colors, causing you to not see anything. Or large pixels popping up everywhere. Made landing very difficult. I had changed the settings to the lowest points mid flight to see if it would help, with no luck.

Hopefully I am working slowly towards getting it lined out.

After looking into the issue I just mentioned (based on screenshots I've seen), it looks like I was experiencing screen tearing.
