Full screen + Vista

Post by Garysb »

I have loaded fs9 on my new comp but I have a slight problem
It runs ok in full screen mode but when I press Alt+Enter it all locks up
If I just press alt the toolbar only apears

Any Ideas as I cant switch between AFCAD and FS

What video card and driver are you using? It could be a combination of things like the drivers and some setting you have enabled like Anti-Aliasing or Filtering.

I just put together a new machine and am trying to get everything installed and setup. I have an Nvidia 9800GTX+ with the newest drivers (182.06) and wasn't getting Anti-Aliasing in the simulator so I had to install Nhancer. When I select a certain setting for Anti-Aliasing ( multi x8 ), I am not able to select anything in the menu bar when I am in full screen. Windowed mode works fine. Just somewhere else to check I guess.

Gary, with the 8800 GTS and Vista I have no problems with FS9. I know that doesn't help but I wanted to throw it out there.

Not a vista person so the only question that I can ask is whether the fs9.cfg is copied over or a newly created one?
