Has anybody ever encountered this??

It happens when I minimize FS, do somehting else (such as check email etc) then when I re-maximize FS none of the text shows up. It happens about 70% of the time. Any thoughts??

I have never encountered it but I will admit I have not been looking for it.

I remember seeing the same in the past. I did not really care about it as I made so many changes to my sim that I thought it was caused by one of those changes.

I want to say I have seen this happen before but I can't remember the particulars. I used to do a reinstall of the program every couple of months so that always took care of it.

I can't speak with any authority here but my gut feeling is that its a driver/graphic card combo issue.

I base this on a purely unscientific test, i.e. I tried it myself and didn't get the problem. I am assuming here that when you say minimize that you mean reduce to the 800x600 default windows size on your desktop.

The other reason that leads me to believe this is that the your thread has not been swamped by people stating that they get the same problem. My first move would be to check if my drivers were up to date or not. Of course if they are it could be that its a newly introduced bug so try an older version.

No, I mean like alt-tabbing out of FS to do something else

In which case I would definitely say that its worth investigating the driver/card issue. I alt-tab do that all the time while testing.
