Hi Mitch,that's easily to solve. I asked the same question a couple of weeks ago either here or at the other side and found help. So the following is copyright by a guy I can't remember his name at the moment.The problem is caused, if your panel stretches over the left and/or right and/or bottom edges of your sreen (even only 0,1 mm or less is too much). I don't know why this has only an effect in 16 bit mode and not in 32 bit.So, take your mouse and resize your panel (just make it a little bit narrower, you won't see a difference). Sometimes, if the panel only streches over one edge of the screen, it is enough to drag it to the centre of the screen. If you are running FSUIPC, then off yourse you have to enable windows moving and resizing before.Above method works in full screen mode and in windowed mode. Wolfgang

Hello Wolfgang!Allrighty then...I'll do that as well...move in the four corners a tad.Thanks for the tip! :)Actually..I do not see any graphic difference in quality between 16 and 31 bit. If the graphics card has to work that much less..then that's just fine with me...and I'm sure---it! LOLCheers!Mitch R.
