Hi AllI have installed FSX on my new system and when I load the sim This pop-up comes up telling me that the Vista has to open with a screen for Vista Basic.SEE Picture I question this because My system went back to the shop with a defective RAM so they re installed Vista Premium to be safe.This never came up when I had FSX installed before the ram crash.This does not happen when loading FS9.My system is a Asus Striker Extreme SXP 2G/PC2-6400K2 RAMBFG 8800 GTX PCI cardand 800 watts of power so it should more than handle itAny ideas why Im getting the disabeling messagehttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/168516.jpgThanks Al

This is normal. From what I understand vista is turning off aero and all the fancy stuff so you get better performance when running the program-when you exit it should all turn back on. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg

Happened to me too on the first run of FSX after installing vista. Hasn't popped up since.Ian.

Hey Lucky, that's pretty normal and by design. When you launch FSX, Vista switches the OS display experience from "Aereo" to "Vista Basic"to optimize the simulor performance. Once you close FSX, Vista switches your display back to Aereo.Vista and FSX, it's a good thing!Kerke

Thanks guysThis makes me feel much better.I always had Vista premium. When I had it loaded before I was getting really nice frames upwards of 45 to60 in the burbs and over 30 in the city with my settings a a very comfortable and impressive setting.This pop up must have been disabled in the previous instalation of Vista.Im really looking forward to Direct X10.Ill deactivate it so its not so anoying.Again Thans everyone for responging.BTWLucky came from serviving a head on colision with a transport truck.http://www.flightontario.com/images/sig_asibley.gif
