Full Screen/Window mode

[dfish 1]

I'm having major problems switching from Window mode back to full screen, it seem to stall the sim. While in window mode I select full screen from the dropdown menu. The "hourglass" icon starts flashing and the sim freezes. Any ideas?Dave FisherCYYZP4 2.8 GB 478P 533 MHZ CPUP4P800S Asus Motherboard768 DDRGeforce Ti 4200/128Maxtor 40 Gig ATA 133 HD x2WDC WD800 80 Gig HDhttp://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/ng_driver.jpg

Did you try to pause the sim first? That could help.Herrie

This problem suggests a video driver problem. Recommend uninstalling and reinstalling your drivers.Jim

If you are flying ScotFlight, they had this problem and have posted a patch at their siteNigelVancouver

Yours is a fairly common problem. There are a few workarounds but try hitting alt/enter instead of using the menu.Regards,Jim

As av84fun said, this is a common problem for many users of FS9. Some suggest to always start FS9 in windowed mode (that is, remember to put it in windowed mode before exiting, so next time you will run it, it will start in windowed mode).

I've also had this happen, I would minimize FS in full screen to work on another program. When I tried to restore FS it would popup for a second and then return to the tray. I would have to close FS, which is annoyng in the middle of a long haul.Dave

Alt/Options/Settings/Display and enable AA in FS. Once you are back in full screen mode you can disable AA in FS.
