Black screen since Acceleration Install

[llavalle]

I've been a FS2004 user for a long time but I just picked up my copy of FSX Deluxe + Acceleration today.

The FSX Install went fine.  At the end of the install, it asked me if I was new to fs, returning to fs of a pilot.  I choose the pilot, got a scripted video and landed a 172 at Oschosh(spelling?).

I then installed the Acceleration Expansion.  Since that, I get a black screen when trying to fly.   When I choose a plane, the 3d render is a black box.   The simulation is working because I can hear the sounds and the throttle works.

I'm running XP SP2.I'm using a Gf7900GT with latests drivers (just downloaded 163.71_forceware_winxp_32bit_english_whql.exe and the problem persists).

Anyone had the same problem?

Had to do re-installs of FSX and acceleration myself last night, and the same thing happened to me. I just shut the prog down the normal way and re-started. After that, it ran fine.

I dont know but ,....did you install the SP1 ? before Aceleration?

[Camel_Moe]

Can't speak for others, but I just installed FSX, ran it once, then installed Acceleration. I let FSA worry about the patches for me.

Ok I've had this problem after updating my video card drivers, try another game because what happened to me was directX stopped working, I would try reinstalling your video card drivers

I've uninstalled Acceleration and FSX is working fine now.

I'll reinstall Acceleration and see if it works.

Thanks!
