This may not be your problem, but when I went from XP to Win 7 the Specular setting in Shaders.xml could make it look like this unless I edited the aircraft model's m3d file.

The lines look like:

<ModelSpecularGloss Desc="Vertex lighting w/ Specular modulated by Gloss map"
Lighting="True" SpecularEnable="True"

versus

<ModelSpecularGloss Desc="Vertex lighting w/ Specular modulated by Gloss map"
Lighting="True" SpecularEnable="False"

The part of the m3d that controls this when the SpecularEnable is set to True is the specular factor described in these posts (#51, and #58)

Remember to set the Hex editor to 36 columns wide so the patterns repeat making it easier to see where to edit.
