Installation AMSO-121 will not run - Orbiter-Forum

stanfitz · 07-29-2012, 01:49 PM

I spent all day yesterday trying to get AMSO to run, without any success. I'm new to Orbiter, and only have two add-on's installed. (ORBITERSOUND and Deltaglider IV) I'm 75 and hearing impaired so I don't know if the sound is working, but Deltaglider IV seems to be working fine.

When I try and run any of the AMSO scenarios, It looks like it starts to load with the normal screen and then I get a screen of hashed graphics, or a black screen, and sometimes a message saying Orbiter has quit running.

I've read the entire 60 pages of docs and right now I've un-installed all the AMSO-121 files.

Computer: Dell Inspiron 580
OS 64 bit Windows 7
CPU: Intel i5 650 @ 3.20 GHz
Ram: 8.0 GB
Graphics Card: Nvidia GT220 (with latest driver)
Sound: Whatever came with the Dell (Since I'm hearing impaired, I don't even bother to turn on my speakers.
*I did install the ORBITERSOUND 3.5

I did look at the log file, but didn't see anything that would point me to the problem with AMSO scenarios not working.

Can anyone help me get AMSO running?

Are you running it on the Orbiter Beta or on a fresh install?

Could you please post your Orbiter log?

indonesianorbinaut · 07-29-2012, 01:58 PM

have you installed Orbiter 2010 P1?

stanfitz · 07-29-2012, 02:58 PM

Yes, I'm running Orbiter 2010 P1, and here is my log (after I uninstalled AMSO-121

Reinstall AMSO and then try again, when it fails post your log as soon as it happens

stanfitz · 07-29-2012, 05:34 PM

Kyle,
I did a fresh install. Then tried to run Appolo 9 scenerio.
Started with the normal load screen, and then it went to garbled graphics, followed by a black screen. I had to <ctrl><alt><del> to get back control of the computer.

Here is the log right after I got out of the black screen.

Since you're running full screen mode, try changing the Colour Depth from 16 to 32. And it is weird that there's no entry of the AMSO modules being loaded.

stanfitz · 07-29-2012, 06:44 PM

I'll try changing from 16 to 32 and see if it makes a difference.

I'm starting to think that it's some kind of video problem. I just installed the Shuttle Fleet ver 4.8 and the same thing happens. (garbled graphics and then a black screen) - I sometimes get a message saying the Nvidia dispalay driver has stopped working and has recovered.

Have you tried window mode? Could you try a default scenario and see if the same thing happens there? Also, try a earlier video driver version.

stanfitz · 07-29-2012, 07:56 PM

I've tried window mode and it didn't make a difference. I've tried many of the default scenarios and they seem to work fine.
Don't know if I can find a earlier Nvidia video driver, but I see If that works. The driver I'm using right now is 301.42 and is the latest Nvidia video driver.

---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ----------

I went back to the previous video driver and that solved the problem. Things load right up and look the way they should. DaveS - Thanks for the suggestion to go back to a previous version of the video driver.
Now to figure out how to fly the thing.

DaveS SSU GSE Specialist	Since you're running full screen mode, try changing the Colour Depth from 16 to 32. And it is weird that there's no entry of the AMSO modules being loaded.

stanfitz Orbinaut	I'll try changing from 16 to 32 and see if it makes a difference. I'm starting to think that it's some kind of video problem. I just installed the Shuttle Fleet ver 4.8 and the same thing happens. (garbled graphics and then a black screen) - I sometimes get a message saying the Nvidia dispalay driver has stopped working and has recovered.

Could you try a default scenario and see if the same thing happens there? Also, try a earlier video driver version.

stanfitz Orbinaut	I've tried window mode and it didn't make a difference. I've tried many of the default scenarios and they seem to work fine. Don't know if I can find a earlier Nvidia video driver, but I see If that works. The driver I'm using right now is 301.42 and is the latest Nvidia video driver. ---------- Post added at 07:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 PM ---------- I went back to the previous video driver and that solved the problem. Things load right up and look the way they should. DaveS - Thanks for the suggestion to go back to a previous version of the video driver. Now to figure out how to fly the thing.
