    Problem creating child windows

    Over the last couple of days I have started experiencing a problem in both FSX SE and P3D V3.4. When cycling through various panels in an aircraft I get the message "Unable to create child window". I am not sure what a child window is or what it does except occasionally cause the sim to CTD.

    Any ideas to the cause and is there a way to fix it.


    Cheers
    Pat
