What are your system specifications? In particular: CPU, RAM and GPU

I do know one thing, what you are describing sounds like a PSU issue, as in maybe underpowered.. What are all your system specs including PSU...

And your driver info too for vid card...That problem sounds like you may be using ATI????? Are you?

I don't remember where I read this, but it was recommended not to run FSX in full screen mode with th2go. Some sort of compatibility issue, check the th2go support site. I run th2go and always stretch the screen over the three monitors essentially running FSX in windows mode, once I start a flight. Goes back to single screen after flight. Works perfectly with no issues. <o:p></o:p>

When I first purchased my TH2Go I stretched the window across all three screens. Seems when I reached a critical size it would cause an FSX fatal error.

Just recently I've had a few times when FSX will refuse to go into fullscreen mode, just shows the desktop with FSX available in the taskbar. Seems Matrox software switched my resolution on me. Try messing with the desktop resolution and see if that helps...

finally found a fix for this. i turn of AA in the game. and in the nvida panel i put AA to X8. seems to of fix the screen from blanking out in full screen. my fps went up a little also.
