November 19, 200223 yr HI.I wonder if anyone could help me. Every time I switch FS from windows mode to full screen mode it locks my system. The sim starts in full screen mode ok. I have to switch to windows mode to start activesky or squawkbox. I have just completed a full restore of my windows Me system.My system specs are as follows.Windows Me / 1200mhz Amd Athlon / 320mb ram PC100 / Geforce2 Mx400 32mb 40.72 drivers / DirectX 8.1 / FSUIPC 2.93 / 40gig Hd 34gig remaining.Could it be the new graphics drivers as I had the same setup apart from the new drivers before reinstalling Me and all worked well.Any help appreciated.RegardsLee.
November 19, 200223 yr When you say you did a complete system restore, I assume you mean it reformatted your hardrive and replaced the OS. From there did you update WinME from the Microsoft update website; did you update all the drivers for controller chips, such as, VIA, Intel, Sis; did you update all the drivers for sound, modems, NICs, graphics, and any other peripherals?I would try to match the full screen resolution with your windowed screen resolution, e.g., 1024x768x32. This way you know that both windowed and full screen are capable of the resolution. Try as high a resolution as your monitor and graphics card is comfortable. Bill Sieffert
