Hi Everyone,
Been running the 707 fine for months now. No issues. All of a sudden every time I select any of my 707 variation's from free flight or saved flights, FSX stops running and shuts down. Loading any other plane weather it be CS or defaults work fine.Without reinstalling, does anyone have any thoughts?
Hate loose all my variant, tweaks etc....
Thanks for any advice.

That doesn't sound good, but maybe something altered your dll.xml file which holds a dll entry for the 707. Without it, it will crash the sim when trying to load the plane.

Go to C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX and open the dll.xml with a text editor.
Look for this entry to be present.

Code (]      <Launch.Addon>
           <Name>Captain Sim 707 Sound</Name>
           <Disabled>False</Disabled>
           <Path>Captain_Sim\707\cs.sound.dll</Path>
     </Launch.Addon>[/code):

If it's there, you can check if it gets loaded correctly when you delete the [Trusted] section in the fsx.cfg. Just make a backup of the file, then open it with a text editor and delete all entries in that section. FSX will then ask for confirmation to load the dll. If he doesn't ask anything, the dll.xml itself is corrupted and we have to build a new one, which isn't too hard, so don't worry. If you don't see that entry, just add it but make sure to keep the [code]</SimBase.Document>

line at the end of the document and don't add anything more than those lines above.
For safety reasons, backup the dll.xml before working on it.

Some addon programs alter this dll.xml file and some of them fail to leave it intact.

Thanks Cool P,
Fortunately the problem corrected itself. I ran the 727 on a short flight and like magic, the 707 loaded up after that. It had been down for days. I did install the new FSUIPC 4.7 but doubt that would have caused this to happen. I was having major A/P with the 767 and the latest FSUIPC really makes the 767 run smooth. Thanks so much for your detailed note. I will keep it in a safe place if this ever happens again. Hope all is well.

Nice to have you back in the skies then. :)

That FSUIPC installer actually alters the dll.xml, but, from my experience, doesn't cause trouble there but even corrects some. So you could use it as some sort of repair tool as it checks the syntax of the whole file.
Just make sure the CS entry is already included there and then run the FSUIPC setup again if any future trouble may arise there.

OK, thanks. I did check and the CS entry is there.
