I dusted off FSX on Windows 7 after a 2 month hiatus (I usually play FS9 on WinXP, my primary OS) and somehow I got this, almost as if DirectX is in 'software mode':If I switch to DX10 preview mode everything in FSX looks and works great, but If I disable DX10 preview and run in DX9 I get corrupted graphics from the very start. (At the 3d aircraft display in the 'create a flight' menu)I have reinstalled Directx and the Nvidia Drivers with driver sweeper, uninstalled nHancer and disabled ENB and everything else + FSX.cfg rebuilt from scratch, moved graphics sliders to minimum and sound quality to lowest (16bit, CD Quality) and I still can't get it right. Graphics card temp never exceeded 50C and no PSU issues either.Everything else is fine, tried Crysis on DX9 and it's smooth as.Any help would be greatly appreciated.GTS 250 512mb on 257.21 driver, DX June 2010 redistCore i7 8603GB ramWindows 7

That looks exactly like corruption caused by the ENB series which you state you have disabled. Did you disable in the main FSX directory the d3d9.dll and the enbseries.ini? This happened to me too in Windows 7, 64 bit and I just renamed everything relating to the enbseries to .old. It worked.Best regards,Jim

I just solved the problem, it turned out that I didn't install the Shader Model 3.0 mod correctly in the fsx.cfg file, and I had to fiddle with the Shader and Shader10 folders and remove the ENB Series Bloom mod.
