Ok I did a search for this, but didn't find any results that was along my lines.My problem is this.When I am in 2d mode my panels flicker black ever 5-10 seconds or so.At first I thought it was just my PMDG stuff, but then I loaded default as well as other freeware planes, and they are all doing the same thing, if I am in the VC everything is ok, same with spot and tower views. But when in 2D panel view it flickers.I have a P4 3 gig1.5 gig ramNvidia G-Force Fx5900 VE at 256MBDrives are all up to date (Forceware 71.89)Direct X 9.0CI am just baffled. I am going to be upset if I have to reformat my PC. Well at least I have 2 HDD's that I have for backup.If anyone thinks they can help me trouble shot I would be gratfull.Also I noticed that before I took off my brake message, the message background wasn't red, but clear. I could still read the message.just no red background for the message. so far it only appers to be FS9.*edit I just did a test and it looks to only happen in Full Screen Mode.
