The previous driver also recently started displaying this problem, i thought changing to the newer driver would remedy the situation

Hey, guys... My graphics driver has been having some issues with P3D V2 lately... After a certain period of time, the screen will go black whilst the sound continues, and a pop-up box will tell me that my graphics driver has crashed and recovered.... Unfortunately it just remains on a black screen in P3D V2 and i have to restart the program to see anything. This is the only program with which my graphics driver will crash, it will run flawlessly otherwise, even with FSX! Anyone else having this same issue and can suggest a remedy?

I run windows 8 on my gaming rig (testing shows that it gives a performance boost to multicore CPU's which was part of my reasoning for it) I have been a windows 8 user for about 7 months (on my two laptops) and i absolutely love it, Windows 7 seems to be quite old and clunky, not to mention slow in comparison! I encounter this problem every single time i try to install the NGX: Every other add-on I have works flawlessly (Airbus X Extended, Dubai Rebooted, Majestic Dash 8 etc) Anyone got an idea of what I'm supposed to do now, or have I just wasted $70 on this program which sadly doesn't work?

I only get fluid movement with no discernible individual frames if set all graphics to low. With FSX, I get decent 25-30FPS with medium graphics settings, no chance for this in Flight. So I am certainly not getting a smoother experience than with FSX.i have noticed a complete opposite effect.... i have a laptop with an AMD E450 APU (1.65GHz dual core) AMD Radeon 630 and 4gb DDR3 RAM and Flight runs very smoothly at medium settings on this laptop, whereas FSX runs semi smoothly only on low settings! :S It's confusing, however i am enjoying flight, but it's not a flight simulator and i miss FSX, even if i only get 20fps :( i wish ms would release some jets, 737 maybe, there are some improvements, but to me it just looks a bit like a jumped up version of x :/ disappointed!
