fly FSX always in windowed mode because on the second monitor I need the IVAO screen + FMC etc.When I hide the taskbar the framerates go about 30% up. Same when switching from the 2D-cockpit to the virtual cockpit.When I do the same running FSX with Windows XP I don't see this big difference.Has anybody else the same experience or even better a solution??Werner Verwaal-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7 dualboot, ASUS P5E, OCZ 2x 2GB, Intel Q9450, 8800GTS 512 MB driver 191.03beta en NHancer 2.5.5.Samsung 22" en Dell 19" monitor DVI connected

Have you tried using the classic Windows theme?

It's the same in Vista, I just hide the taskbar when I'm using FSX. You can also get a little autohotkey program which runs in taskbar and when you double click on its tray icon or press the keyboard combo 'Win + A' it will automatically toggle the auto hide taskbar option for you, its called 'Taskbar Autohide' http://www.brightrev.com/how-to/windows/46...de-utility.htmlI'm not sure if it will work in W7 or not.
