Blackouts

Hello fellow simmers, captjim here again.  Big problem!!!  I now have Windows 7 installed (for some time actually), and when I run FSX as well as FS9 the program stops after a while, usually about the time you want to land.  All you get is a black screen.  Never had this problem until Windows 7.  Is this some unique problem with this system?  Unfortunately I cannot get back to Vista on this computer.  I think I saw a thred some time ago where someone had a similar problem.  Any assistance would be appreciated.  captjim  :-[

Is the sim crashing or is the screen blacking out?
If its the screen, go to the realism settings menu, and uncheck G effects, maybe you're pulling up to hard.  :-/

Well known problem with a new OS like W7, Google and you'll know...

FSX and Windows XP works flawless and much better than Vista 7!
