I have FS2004 installed, with many add-on aircrafts, sceneries and utilities such as flyby and FSUIPC.I usually fly in full screen mode, and everything works fine in this mode. Sometimes (when developing new gauges) I switch to windowed mode, and then FS crashes after I load 2 different aircrafts.I don't know where to search because everything works fine in full screen mode, so it appears that no add-on is faulty.Any idea?Thanks for any help !!Eric

I really love the f16 panel!Rluca

Hi Eric,I'm not helpful by saying this but I was encountering the same problem as yours until I realized that the combination of Alt + tabs keys allows me to browse among the different open windows.In full screen, the menu bar can be displayed by pressing the Alt Key.I don't know if this comment will help you but I think it's worth mentioning.Before ending, I just want to take the opportunity offered by this post to thank you for the great job you have done since you decided to create outstanding freeware add-ons for the simmer community.Kind regards.

Thanks for your help and your nice words !!I will try what you suggest, and I'll let you know how it works. The most probable reason is the FS and desktop color depth that are different. I will try this first and let you know how it works.Eric
