FSX screen goes black, please help!

Featured Replies

Hi,I've asked this question before but never got any response so I try it again. On my new system this is the only problem I'm having. Every now and then after having entered the menus several times, the screen goes black. Pressing Alt+Enter to go to windowed mode does not help. I have a tweaked FSX.cfg from www.venetubo.com. I have the UiAutomationCore.dll. I have the newest 285 drivers from NVIDIA. Maybe that's the problem? Could you please help me?Thanks!

Ok, how do I uninstall a driver correctly? Simply uninstalling it from Computer -> Programs?EDIT: I heard that the 275.33 drivers are very good, where can I find those older drivers for my specific card (GTX320)?

Uninstall your current driver via add/remove programs! (or use program ccleaner !!)Very important : to Delete the map DisplayDrivers in for example C:/ NVIDEA /DisplayDrivers otherwise the old drivers will be used again after you startup again!!Restart your computer!Use a program like driver sweeper (find it on Nvidea site) to clear all leftover registry settings!Select only from the menu nvidea driver for a graphic card like drivers and physics !!!!Restart again!Run the driver installer you downloaded, select custom install, and pick the driver components you want!Check the clean install box. Restart again after this is finished!Set up inspector custom settings again!Cheers!

Ok, thanks for all your help!After going back from the 285 drivers to the 275.33 drivers, I noticed three things:1. My black screen problem is now gone, thanks!2. Performance got reduced just a little bit (maybe 1-2 fps)3. The problem where FPS got reduced when mouse cursor is displayed, is now back again. This problem seems to be fixed by the 285 drivers, but the black screen problem is very annoying, so I therefore I stick with 275.33 now.Thanks!

Just to notify you, the black screen problem occured again. After landing in Cuzco, then I wanted to watch the replay the screen turned black and the sim continued normally with sound, and responded normally, there was just no sound. Maybe it's the ENB series? Cuz I also have that installed.

Are you sure you've added this to your fsx.cfg file (the spelling is important) under the [GRAPHICS] section?HIGHMEMFIX=1Tim
