What Operating System are you using - XP or Vista?If Vista it sounds like a permissions issue.

Are you using an model designed and built for FSX or are you using a ported over FS9 plane?

Try deleting the FSX.cfg or renaming it and then restart FSX and let the config rebuild itself.Best regards,Jim

Jimdeleted fsx.cfg and restarted but still have the same problemThanksGaryK

Is FSX installed to the default Program Files path?

Plenty of planes say they are built for FSX and are really FS9 or FS8 planes reworked. Best way to tell is to test the plane with a model checker tool. If you go to an outside view, look at the cockpit, and tell us what you see. My guess is you will see either black or nothing.Bob

Reboot your machine. Then see if the problem persists...If it persists, download GPU-Z:http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/..and verify that you have normal video card tempsAlso download RealTemp:http://www.techpowerup.com/realtemp/..and verify that you have normal cpu tempsIf you reboot, and all temps are normal, then the next thing I would do is change my video card driver.Uninstall the old driverreboot (in 800x 600)(optional) run DriverCleaner Pro or its equivalentinstall new driverReboot machineset resolution and retest FSXIf after all of this, you still see the problem...I would worry about power supply failure, or video card failure.Sorry I typed so much :(
