Falcon BMS 4.32 Won't Launch
-
Might be time to start over, with a fresh install.
Update 7 is current version.
Check in “Arty’s hot list” and you will find a link to base install plus updates 1-7. -
Well, the latest is that I uninstalled the program and re-installed it with each update separably. It worked once, crashed and refused to open.
-
No config folder under C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\User is a major malfunction.
As far as a re-install, I’d recommend the ‘consolidated’ installer … here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?15666-Falcon-BMS-4-32-Full-Installer-(Base-plus-U1-U6)
Plus update 7, here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?16681-Falcon-BMS-4-32-Update-7
There may be one with all 7 updates together, but I’m not sure about that.
Edit:
… read, then post.

In which case, have you disabled the start-up movie and tried deleting the .dsp indicated earlier? Do you have a config file this time?
-
Thanks, guys, for all your help. Okay, I’ve deleted the .vhs files and the .dsp file. Yes, the config folder is back. I found a version with all seven updates and tried it with the same results. I deleted the existing dsp file and downloaded a new one.

Are you using the most updated driver for your GPU’s??

I don’t think I am, Cloud 9. Just as I was missing around with Falcon, NNVIDIA sent me a notice saying the latest driver update was available. I downloaded and tried to install it but it said it couldn’t find compatible hardware
-
I updated the drivers and now get an error message to the effect that it doesn’t point to a valid Falcon BMS 4.32 install.
-
To be precise, it says: “The registry entry points to a folder that does not contain a valid Falcon BMS 4.32 install. Please restore missing files and try again or remove registry entry (HKLM\ SOFTWARE\Benchmark Sims\Falcon BMS 4.32)to be able to install the program again. Path:C:\Falcon BMS 4.32.”
-
That’s weird because my BMS registry info is in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6431Node\Benchmark Sims.
-
There’s a little utility that will clean the BMS entry from the registry.

Hi Agave.
I don’t know if my replies are posting or not–I replied last night–but I just wanted to say that your last suggestion worked! Thanks ever so much. I appreciate the responses from you, Cloud 9, Frederf and Badger. -
Glad you got it sorted!!
