If screenshots are coming out normal, than I would look at either your monitors' cabling, or the monitor itself. To be honest, I've never seen a monitor fail, other than an LCD's back-light burn out. But logic would suggest that that is where the problem is. Do you have an old monitor you could try?

Cutting to the SIMPLEST idea first....... have you checked that the VGA cables are seated in both connector sockets well?

I am just going to throw this out there


yes, it looks like the corruption is somewhere between the card and monitor but there ARE rare occasions when the frame buffer can snag a clean image when there is a defect or damage on the video card, or, damage to system, (XP or DX9), application being run, or, driver files.

I can't believe this just started out of the blue and only shows in certain games if it was a monitor or cable issue. This is either a corrupt driver/DX/Windows System, FS9 or damaged video card. I guess it is possible FS9 is somehow corrupt.

The card is what I suspect.

The only way to know for sure would be to install the card to another system and try the same application, short of doing a complete Windows/DX9/Update/FS9 reinstall/driver reinstall. If the same thing occurs, the card appears to be defective

Wow, do I have to answer all your  tips?!  :o :D
First I haven't solved the problem, but I don't care of it anymore!  ;)
I wanted to change some view setting, but unwanted clicked at the switch between fullscreen entry that's above.
The error only occurs when flying in fullscreen!!!!!!!!!  :-?

So now to answer your tips:

[quote]Good point. What difference does it make to the monitor if you hit alt. I thought it would just display it. Then again, I'm no expert, I don't claim to be either.

Well I was going to say if you have an old moniter somewhere, you shoud hook that one up somehow and see what happens but since you said you're getting a new PC anyway, I think you should just wait for that because December is not far away at all. :)
