What version of DirectX are you using?Do you still Have FS9 installed? If so, does the two monitor setup still work?Will FX run if you go to a one monitor setup?

I had the same problem. I tried a number of steps which didn't help. But when I updated my video card drivers to the latest Nvidia forceware version 91.47, and that completely solved the problem. It seems the latest drivers from Nvidia fixed some prior issues with FSX.

As soon as I switch back to full screen the system crashes. This time I got an error message 'the nv4_disp' driver has ceased to function properly.In FS9 it works fine in fulscreen so why not in FSX? And I don't wan't to run it in windowed mode.

I havebeen told that they are not suitable for the 6600 series of cards.
