I have 3 copies of X-P, but only one has XSB plugin fitted, one has XIVAP fitted, the third has neither.

All that I had done, is map the network drive for X-P to my second machine, then removed the mapping. To see if that would cure it. I have shutdown my machines several times to no avail. Flight machine is Intel i5 3570K /16gb ram/ Nvidia 660TI/ win 8 64 Pro.

Mick FSX DOES work with Win 7/8, I have used every version since V5.0 I have FSX running on Win8Pro64 with NO problems. The majority of FSX users stick with Win7. However, I am now getting into X-Plane 10.25, and FSX is still sitting on my drive bearly used. since Christmas. My machine is not much diiferent to yours. Next, you DO need these Libraries to run the scenery addons, I have 36 addon UK airfields, 4 of them throw up a warning, but ignoring them does NOT cause a crash. The developers make every effort to make sure that their product works before releasing it. I have downloaded Gigabytes of HD scenery for the UK, again, no problems. Ok, the only problem I have is your original, unable to save situation, but no big deal for me. I don't see how adding addons is corrupting the sim, you must not be reading the installation instructions properly. I can uderstand it with FSX, but not X-P. For a start, it does not sit in the windows registry, so deleting/moving or copying is easy(I have three copies, for three different setups). And two of them are copies of the original install.

Last night, I completed a Vatsim flight, shut down X-P. Loaded DiscreetFPS, then restarted X-P10.25. Started on the ramp and immediately a white box popped up. Alert! Wrong IP Address 127.0.0.1 No NIC with this address found! Shut down and removed DiscreetFPS, and retried, no go, same alert. I then fired up my second copy of X-P, set up for XIVAO, same message! weird!! Fired up my third copy of X-P, set up with no online apps, same again!!!! even weirder!!!! Can find no dump file to tell me what is going on. I have no idea what has caused this, and closing the box has no working effect on the sim. As to why the problem went across all 3 copies baffles me.
