FSX Full Screen, cant get back in..?

[harleyman]

I always had that problem with Vista...It always froze or would never open back up properly....So I learned to trick it with task Manager like Bjoern said..It did not always work....

I always thought it was a vid driver issue with vista not agreeing somehow...


This is how I fixed it Bill....Pay attention here....LOL

I never dropped it till my flight was over or I was done..... It was a real pain for tweaking and testing too,having to reload the whole thing time and time again to have a quick look....

But I guess its a XP thang too now......:caked:


I wish I new more..I have seen nothing in any forums for Windows about fixing this with a tip or tweak....:faint:

Windows Vista < Windows ME

poor M/S - killed itself and didn't even know it

On the other hand, Windows 7 could be the big bang that Windows 95 was (compared to 3.1).

Man, it was wierd yesterday with this issue. Mason, I too had it working now and then with the 'Task Manager/Switch To' button. It would work, and sometimes not.

If I paused the sim, then Alt-Tab out, I could sometimes Alt-Tab back in, but rarely.

If I 'Switched Too' about two to three times, I could get back in, but not every time.

A couple of times, it allowed me to Alt-Tab back in.



I did update my drivers on my vid card the other week, so perhaps this is an issue. Reason I say this, is even though I could Alt-Tab back in, when I Alt-Tab back out again, there would be a huge black area taking up 50% of my screen, and moving program windows around didnt bring the black area back, so I still had to turn off FSX in order to view/modify airplane configs and use Gmax, etc.


Man, I would sure love to tackle this beast that has krept in...

arrghh..
