May 9, 200719 yr Hi TacomaSailor,If I remember your ealier message (about the Side by Side issue), it sounded like you hadn't done an install of FSX under Vista, you were just trying to run the install you had made under XP while booted under Vista. That probably isn't going to work, the app hooks into too many things these days. You can do the reinstall to the same directory where XP installed it, and then it should run under both OS's (if you still have both on your machine). Tim http://fsandm.wordpress.com
May 9, 200719 yr Exactly so. FSX is a DX9 application and , as such, will always use DX9L. I still think it's a case of lousy drivers for the 8800. DougEdited: Maybe. See the post from Beatle below.

May 9, 200719 yr I never even thought about anyone trying to do that. If, in fact, the OP is trying to run FSX with Vista when the FSX install was done with XP that explains a lot. It simply won't work.Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

May 9, 200719 yr Sounds to me like you didn't install FSX under Vista. Just install FSX from Vista to the same directory you installed it to from XP, and it will add all the registry entries to FSX. Since you are in Vista it will have no effect on the XP registry.EDIT: I guess this is what everybody else suggested. lol
