Hi, I was in contact with Microsoft and got very competent help ( which did not solve the problem . . . ) but this gentleman suspected one of the latest vista updates to be the reason !He suggested to chk if update KB 932246 is installed, then chk if the program FS9 is running better in the compatibily mode ( Xp) and as administrator - I cannot chk this right now because I did not reinstall FS 9 for 5th time . . .Edit: I was VERY impressed by the MS service - after 1 week THEY called back and asked if the problem was solved !!Karl-Heinz - EDDI/THF " Tempelhof "" The mother of all airports " - Sir Norman Fosterhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/747400.jpg
