Speaking of that game, I personally dont like being the seeker, but in this case I am. I came over a problem where all my panels and Virtual cockpits compltely dissapeared. Haven't a clue why or when, it just happened.
I just did a re-install and it didn't do anything, any answers?

Hello,
I had this problem a while back and it turned out to be a video card settings problem. If I set the Antialias above 4x in the driver it would remove my 2D panels and the opening screens of FS would show only the rotating aircraft.
Setting the AA at 2x fixed it and so did downloading the latest NVidia drivers.
I hope this helps.
Will

It sounds from your specs that you have the same issue that I had. Try either updating your drivers or going back to an earlier set. I have had issues with some software requiring older drivers. That was a PITA!!!

Good news, I'm guessing on the re-install something flipped off of default, and my panels just weren't showing automatically. In the view options, I found that if I click something, they will show up just fine. Thanx for the help!

From where I'm standing, you should be more worried about your video card spec than your lack of RAM

The GeForce 4 MX440 is a DirectX 7 card very far removed from the other GeForce 4 (and even 3) DirectX 8 cards. It performs about the same as a souped-up GeForce 2.
