RE: Realflight Crashes on Startup in Windows XP
Greg,
The hid.dll is a Windows USB driver file. So, it is part of the operating system, and not part of RealFlight. But, if this file is corrupted you will have problems with G2 finding the USB controller.
Have you recently installed anything that could have changed your USB drivers? FWIW, I have had the best luck using the "restore" feature of windows to undo unwanted driver changes. You can restore to a previus date at which you knew the system was working correctly.
I know this is frustrating, but the problem is likely not with Realflight G2, but with the USB drivers in your operating system. Do a google search for "hid.dll" and you will see that lots of folks have problems with this driver because of other programs installing over the existing driver.
Good luck.
Carl
