I am trying to find the FSX cfg file so I can change the screen resolution after installing a new 32" monitor. The FSX program will not start. Terry

Should be in your C:/Documents and Settings/(Your username)/Application Data/Microsoft/FSX/fsx.cfg If you don't see it, Terry, open Windows Explorer->Tools->Folder Options-View, and check "Show hidden files".

Thanks for the help. The hidden files are checked to see but still cannot locate the file in the location you typed. yes I did put my name in the user name space. Any other ideas? Terry

Try.........Start...................Run.......................%appdata%\Microsoft\FSX

Here is mine, under my old XP:- C:\Users\pj\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\ ..and under Windows 7:- C:\Users\pj\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\

Why not delete the CFG file and let FSX rebuild it from scratch. Then you can tweak it. Cheers, - jahman.

He can't delete it because he can't find it.....

Ah! Right! (In File Explorer, there's always F3 "Search" for "fsx.cfg"...) Cheers, - jahman.

Couple of ways to reset the config file without knowing where it is. You can hold down the CAPS_LOCK and CONTROL keys while the app is launching, you can add a -RESETINI switch to the FSX command line, or you can add a -CFG switch with no path\filename to the FSX command line (normally, it would be -CFG:d:\SomePath\SomeFile.cfg - this form lets you use different .CFG files for different setups).

Thank you everyone for the suggestions and ideas. I finally got the FSX to run but at 1280 x 768 (native res) for the TV/monitor, the panels are all stretched out and the detail is not so good. I did match the monitor settings in FSX to match the tv's. Any ideas on this new problem?Again thanks,Terry
