Boy there is a lot to know and I am just scratching the surface. I guess this is no big one because I will probably have to live with it. My computer will stop while fling and you can see the hard drive working but it is frozen. after a minute it resumes. sometimes shorter. When I am on the grounf the airport goes white as do the aircraft and it will run for sometimes 30 seconds before resuming. I have an AMD64 bit, ATI Radeon 9600-128mb128bit dual channel memory, over 1GB in RAM DDR SDRAMat 400 mhz.Sometimes I think the issue is the Logitech digital Extrem stick. I have had 3 and they don't seem to last. I like the way they are set up though. Sometimes I think my FS9 file is to large, and sometimes I think it is an active X issue. ANy Ideas. Anyone with the same issue?A while back I wrote about the disappearing window in FS9 and got some answers but they were of little help. It is probably because I did not explain myself well.The missing window I have is NOT the virtual because, as pointed out, not all panels or aircraft have that feature. The window I seem to be lacking is the minipanel that used to come up after you hit W the first time. It had 4 guages, sometimes more, or less, depending on panel. How can that whole window disappear? It comes up on a payware panel that I have for the 777 and A340 and 320. It almost never appears on any other panel now. Thanks all!

Hi you may well know this already and have tried something else but the screen resolution can make things appear not to be there because you are zoomed in too much and they are off the edge of the screen and maybe changing the screen resolution can help bring them back.Lemonadedrinker.
