Hey everyone,

I am having a problem with all the 2D panels, both default and add-on, where it looks normal for about 2 seconds and then looks like this. I don

This looks like a video card memory that is dying.
Last time I had this bug, I had to change the video card.

This happens only with 2D panels ? Everything is alright with virtual cockpits, scenery, flying for a long time etc... ?
Also, do you get any problems with other games ?
Did you install the DirectX9 upgrade ?

Hey Daube,
Well, everything else seems ok as for the VC, scenery, ect. Although, the sim does not run real well on my machine and I find that one day the sim runs ok and other days it is unacceptable. As far as programs, I use Gmax and it is ok, I don

Aye,

It's a driver issue. I had this also with Cataylyst 7.2, mostly with addons.

It vanished with 7.4.

Read deinstall/install guide carefully and make a fresh restore point. Installing grafic drivers intn't always easy istening.

( have issues with 7.5

Well, I tried reverting back to a different video driver with no luck. I then uninstalled SP1 and flew around for a while and the 2D panels worked fine. I then reinstalled SP1 and the panels are messed up again. Could I have a corrupted copy of the SP1 and therefore it is not installing right?

I think you have a bad download :o I suggest that you get rid of your old SP1 dowload and re-download it. I'm pretty sure that'll work :)

Well I downloaded and installed a new copy of SP1 and it is the same as before. I am uninstalling the entire sim so I can get a fresh install of both and see if that makes a difference.

Thanks for the help

With a fresh install of the FSX and SP1 with no add-ons or cfg tweaks, the panels are fine. But when I put the tweaked cfg back in then the problem persists. So, that leads me to one of two conclusions. 1 that there is something in the cfg that is causing the problem or 2 that it is my graphics card and when I push it with higher setting in the tweaked cfg that it starts getting weird. Any other thoughts on what it might be causing this?

Well Thank F**k For That!!!!
Got the Problem Sorted, in the end it was my Rubbish Nividia Card Driver, still cant Figure out How it happened in the First Place, and even though i had updated(uninstall/Reinstall) the Driver TWICE, i still had no result, had a quick chat with Hager and try'd all other sorts of stuff, Could'nt Figure it out, jst as i was about the plug on FSX on my Machine i said i'll try the Graphic Driver One More Time, BINGO!! It works, very Happy at the Minute, but (touchwood) it could all go Pear shaped Again, Anyhoo, thats how i Resolved that Issue,
Any Good ta ya??

Upon the next driver change...

- Download and install this tool: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=745

- Uninstall your display driver like you always do.

- Run Driver Cleaner (NVidia users use "NVidia"; ATI users *might* have put a tick into "Select multiple filters" and select "ATI" and "ATI CCC") and click "Start"

- The Tool cleans all remaining .dlls and registry entries that the uninstallation program might have left over.

- Install your new display driver.
