Hey all I was wondering if anyone can provide me with assistance on this problem I cant seem to fix. I just got a new video card a Radeon 4670 and my problem is I can start and fly in FS9 just fine its just when I minimize to windows and then get back into the sim by graphics go to crap. It seems I lose my video card settings. My anti-aliasing is gone and it all happens when I minimize out of full-screen mode. The windowed mode seems to work ok but I dont use that. I have the updated drivers installed after I cleaned out all the old drivers and put back in the new ones. Any help would be appreciated thanks. Scott

Look on your keyboard. If you see a key with a windows logo,Hit it and your problem is solve. Thats a quick escape from FULL to DESKTOP.Hope that helps

Thanks for the help but I tried that already. I'm telling you this is really weird if I go to desktop via the windows key and the go back into FS9 but graphics still deteiorate.

Nothing guys???...well I'm going to get a new card and see if that fixes the problem hopefully. Thanks

I might suggest Nvidia. My Ati Radeon X1950 did the same thing as yours, Switched to a BFG GeForce 8800 GT OCX 512MB PCI-Eand no problems at all.

Hi there Scott,What O.S. are you running? .xp ,Vista or Win7?Dan Martin Flight Ontario

don't change the video card, maybe a wrong setting in the driver panel, or in fs config, wait to spend money for another vga

I have an ATI HD3870 and never had problems :)

Thanks guys, well I'm running XP and I've tried everything. I even did a complete fresh re-install of FS9 but still nothing and ive tried every setting in ATI Tray Tools but no luck. I really didnt want to get a new card but thats all I can try to do now so it arrives today so we'll see what happens.Scott

I use use Alt-Tab to swich and it works great? I used to mistakenly use alt-enter and it would cause all kinds of problems
