X-Plane has stopped working

Question

Hi,

I just picked up XP-11 last week (no NVidia driver crashes yet lol) but I'm started to get "X-Plane.exe has stopped working" messages and in my event viewer, I found this (below). What is it and how do I fix it?

Download file Here is my log text

Is it a bug possibly?

Do not install X-Plane into the C: drive root like you have. Here is information on why this is bad and how to fix it. See if moving it helps the crashing.

Thanks JRoberts! Do I have to reinstall XP to change the location or can I simply move the folder without corrupting files?

I believe you can just move the folder. In general it's never necessary to re-install X-Plane unless you have plugins that have messed something up. Check out that article for steps on how to repair permissions.
