ahh, the old problems that once plauged me are coming back...

heres one of the worst, but some pictures first of it...

here is the sim when i first load a flight.


as you can see, something is wrong with the panel.

here is the sim when i right-click the mouse.


The panel magicly re-appears! all of the gauges are there, they are just dark in the screenshot

i have had this happen before, but i was having other computer troble, so i reformatted the hard drive, before i could fix it.

THIS OCCURRS ON EVERY SINGLE PLANE IN MY FLEET!

help!

The first thing I would check is your video card drivers.

would that make any differnece? i'll check them, but they are the same ones that i had when i gt the computer (of course reinstalled. how would right clicking affect the vidio card? i'll work on it.  

You said it happens on all panels so the problem is unlikely to be with the panels. You also reformatted your drive so you lost all the settings & updated drivers. It has to be your video card, specifically the display settings or drivers.

you were right thanks! although, when i turned off the firewall/antivirus to install the driver, i got a virus on my system. used SmitfraudFix though. that thing is amazing!
