Hi All-When I click on my FS9 desktop shortcut, the splash screen appears, stays there for 5-15 seconds, as usual, but then FS9 crashes to the desktop. My multi-monitor system then starts flashing randomly, the icons disappearing, though eventually settling back down to the original desktop. This only started after I attempted last night to add some software to allow my Sony digital video recorder to function as a webcam. I suspect this is related. I just recently (6 days ago) updated my internet connection and router from Verizon DSL to Verizon FIOS. The upgrade went well, and everything was working smoothly, including online gaming with FS9, port forwardig through the router, etc. I REALLY do not want to revert back to the system restore point prior to the FIOS install unless absolutely necessary. But I would gladly reconfigure my wireless system vs losing the many years invested in tweaking FS9 to what it is and having to reinstall. Experienced user here, computer savvy.Please Help!

You could try removing your FS9.cfg file to a safe place and letting FS build a new one with its default settings.It is possible your new software has changed your graphics settings in some way.John

John-Removing the config file and letting FS9 try to rebuild it did not work. I even had a backup copy which I maintain periodically, neither worked, My screens all flash, go black, then FS9 crashes to the desktop, and I hear a chime like an error message, but nothing shows up. Would reinstalling DirectX11, or the video drivers help?

Hello,

. This only started after I attempted last night to add some software to allow my Sony digital video recorder to function as a webcam. I suspect this is related.

Removing the software (or traces of it) would help ?Also are you allowing some autopudates for softwares or OS .. sometimes this can messup a system.Regards.Gus.

I tried reinstalling video drivers, and that didn't work. I wonder if I could try reinstalling Active X11 (I am running Windows7)? Any recommendations?
