July 18, 200718 yr I've seen my computer wig out a number of times when switching back-forth from windowed to full screen mode...most of the problem has been video driver related I think. Now that I have AA/AF working in windowed mode, I rarely mess with full-screen because of the chance of inducing problems when swapping back/forth.Anyway, a few months ago I saw something similar that plagued me for an entire weekend...I remember finding an article that mentioned the fact that most of the newer power supplies keep parts of the PC powered-up even when switched off, and I switched off the PS with the switch on the back of the cabinet for about 30 seconds to force a complete power-down and reset of every component on the PC (including the video card). That cured it...right as I was ready to drop-kick the box out a 2nd story window.RegardsBob ScottATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VSantiago de Chile Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
July 18, 200718 yr I had the same issue in my x64/NVIDIA system. Best way I found around it was to hit the WINDOWS key and go from there with FS minimized rather than going to a windowed mode.Joe Lorenc Joe Lorenc
July 18, 200718 yr I had the same problem...for years. And then one day I tried switching from tri-liner to bi-linier in FS9 and the problem went away. "A good landing is one you can walk away from.

July 18, 200718 yr Still experience this problem myself, mine started after installing AES.To get around this I Alt+Tab to minimize FS, start RC or whatever I need to do and then restore FS by clicking on its tab in the tool bar.Anything else results in FS freezing, it took days to get to this solution but it does work.JohnCore2 Duo 66002048 MB DDR160GB HDDNVidia 7950 512mbCH Yoke and PedalsHead TrackerRC4AShttp://fs2crew.com/linepilot.jpg
July 18, 200718 yr Hi,I left this a few days ago but got no response. Sounds like you may have the same problem I'm having with my Nvidia 8800GTX board.Can someone try this and see if its just my problem or a problem with FS2004. Let me know what video card and drivers you have as well.1. Start FS2004 in widowed mode and change to full screen mode at the Create A Flight screen. Then create a flight to anywhere, with any aircraft, at anytime. Once FS2004 loads, try going from full screen to windowed mode. Make sure you click outside FS2004 so its Former Beta Tester - (for a few companies) - As well as provide Regional Voice Set Recordings Two: AMD-9950X | One: AMD-7950X3D | Three: Asus TUF 4090s | Three: 64GB DDR5 RAM 6000mhz | Three: Cosair 1300 P/S | Three: 990Pro 2TB NVME One: Eugenius ECS2512 - 2.5 GHz Switch | Three: Ice Giant Elite CPU Coolers | Three: 75" 4K UHDTVs | One: Boeing 737NG Flight Deck
July 19, 200718 yr Hi,Many thanks for all your helpful suggestions. As it happens my problem also started after installing AES (an excellent program by the way).Hitting the WINDOWS key (same as Alt+Tab) has solved the problem. Brilliant.Thanks
