May 3, 201412 yr ...and there is no way to maximize it tried alt+tab, clicking the icon in the taskbar, "bring to front" from the task manager...nothing works. this happened suddenly after installing Visual Studio 2010. Any other idea? PS: deleting fsx.cfg helps but would like to avoid it Thank you.
May 4, 201412 yr Make sure you have Microsoft Visual 2005 w/SP1. FSX needs 2005 w/SP1 to run properly. You can get a link to the various versions by looking in the AVSIM CTD Guide located to the right of this forum under Hot Spots. I've never seen a way to maximize FSX once the icon goes to the desktop but, when I get into that situation, I keep trying using Alt-Tab and suddenly it will be in full screen. It's a bug.

May 4, 201412 yr Author Thank you all, the problem was my TV which is set as an extension of the main desktop, I turned it off and then the FSX screen popped up in the main monitor. Not sure why this happened now as I never had such problem before.
