I have now enjoyed the 737NG for about one month and I

Art,You might want to reinstall your graphics drivers. If my memory serves me right, an update of DirectX sometimes confuses/corrupts the video drivers. (Or was it the other way around :-hmmm.)Hope it helps,

Hi Mats,thanks for the quick response. I reinstalled Graphic-Card-Drivers but the problem remains.The Screens (PFD,....) get black after approximate 1 minute (I tried to reload the aircraft and the displays were on and working again...but just for another minute when the same thing happens again and again and again)Btw. all other aircraft (PSSA320 DF737 and so on) work like they have worked beforeGreetsArt

Thank you for the heads up, will be looking into this ASAP...[h5]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smith [h4]P M D G 7 3 7 NG[/h4] [h3] Realism on the horizon [h5]AMD XP 2200 |MUNCHKIN 512 DDR RAM |ECS[/b ][i] K7S5A MB[/i] |GF3 64 MEG @ 215/545|WIN XP PRO |MITSUBISHI DIAMOND PLUS 91 19"[/h5]

Randy, Art,I think this must be a hardware/driver/system issue. I've installed DX9b and I've ran the PMDG737 without any new display problems in both FS2002 and FSCOF.Specs:Intel PIII 800 MHz/384 Mb Rambus PC800AOpen geForce3 Ti200/128MbIntel 845 chipsetWin98SE Regards,

I have changed nothing but the directX Version from 9.0a to 9.0b - so why should this be a hardware problem. I have searched Gfx-Forums and there are no special issues on ATI9700 Chipset and DirectX9.0b with the latest official Drivers.All other AC are working and also my other Games are running fine. So I think that might not be a Problem of my hardware/drivers/system?I hope I do not have to reinstall my whole SystemAnymore ideas?ThanksArt

Only thing I know is that the DX9b is just a security patch. I had DirectX9a installed and upgraded to DX9b, but still flying the NG...

If you want to get back to a previous version of DirectX, check this site. http://www.hardwareonline.dk/downloads.asp...Windows%20StuffThere is an Windows XP uninstaller (Safe-Mode installer). You can also find the DirectX 9.0a on that site.Regards,FlyerNL

Art, I have to say I get a good laugh every time I see your username! So, are you too an importer/exporter? (George in Seinfeld)Lee Hetherington (KBED)

Strange indeed...I have also installed 9.0b and have no problems at allwith the PMDG.Are you really, really sure that you haven't change a thing,although you not think that it is connected to the PMDG?Best regards Bj

Actually, at one time he was Art Vandalay the architect and another time Art Vandalay the importer/exporter (of Vandalay Industries). Art is a very capable guy! ;-)Mick E. Mouse

Thanks to all! Im back on business!!!The Problem was NOT DirectX neither my System. I just reinstalled the pmdg747ng and everything worked as usual (of course also with directX9.0b).BUT I SWEAR I NEVER TOUCHED ANY FILE IN THE MSFlightSim Directory!Strange thing!
