You want to learn to fly an RC helicopter and do all these crazy 3d acrobatics?

Hold right there… you will need time and a lot of concentration before you can even keep your helicopter off the ground without crashing. A lot of people will buy a helicopter, crash it, get discouraged and next thing you know it is in a basement somewhere and chances that it will ever fly again are usually very low.

Over 50% of all single rotor hobby grade RC helicopters sold to and built by first time fliers end up crashing in the first few minutes of their maiden flight.

Here is a very good website that will show you what to buy, where and how to start: http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/how-to-fly-rc-helicopters.html remember to take your time through the exercices, it is possible to learn how to fly these without crashing once. Your main goal should be to bring your helicopter back home in one piece after each session.

Cheers,

By starting windows in safe mode I determined that the SPTD.SYS driver was the last thing windows was loading before crashing miserably. SPTD.SYS is used by a few softwares like Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools.

Here is what I did so that I could at least start my computer and start backing up files:

• I booted the computer using a BartPE boot cd
• Clicked on “Go” then on “Command Prompt (CMD)”
• In the black “Command Prompt” type:
  • c: <enter>
  • cd c:\windows\system32\drivers <enter>
  • rename sptd.sys sptd.bak <enter>
  • exit <enter>
• Then click on “Go” followed by “Shut down” and to finish “Shut down”

Started windows again and the boot process went all the way to a login screen. The problem is not really fixed at this point, what I did was only a patch so that I could start windows again, daemon tools is currently showing an error message upon boot saying that sptd.sys is required to start.

I then tried to install a new version of the sptd.sys driver from http://www.duplexsecure.com/downloads/ however this did not work, upon restarting the maching I was caught in the same error loop as before and had to deactivate sptd.sys again.

Still looking for a permanent solution, note that this problem started occuring “out of nowhere” without any software update or new software installation.
