I just ran into a nice little quirk with Windows 7. I've got a Logitech Extreme30PRO JStick and have found that from the main panel view, the rear view using the hat switch creates a conflict for CFS2. It doesn't CTD, but everything just goes black. The only way to fix it is to shut CFS2 down and start again. This only occurs when there is a mirror .bmp in the panel folder. Don't know why, I still run XP on another machine with no issues.
