Thank you Ronzie, I'll give that a try when I get home tonight. In the meantime, here is some more information about the problem. Both the ATC and the FLYING TIPS windows pop up as they should, both without any messages or menus inside. Also, when the parking brake is on all I see on my monitor is a red bar in the lower left corner. No included type stating that the red bar is because the parking brake is on as formerly. Thank you again for your help. I'll let you know if this works. If the new information I have provided triggers any thoughts on other things to look at, please let me know. May your ceilings always be unlimited and the wind always at your Six! Dick Goller

Thank you for all your good input, and after thinking that letting FS9 generate a new config file had fixed the problem, it has returned and the config file fix is no longer working. Any other ideas I might try? Is there somewhere I can get information on all the entries in the config file and what they do and how they interact with FS9 and the OS? Looking forward to more communication with all of you! Best regards, Dick Goller

Dear Mel, Paul, Andy, and Dave, Thank you for your responses to my difficulty. Mel, deleting the config file and restarting FS9 did the trick. Thank you, I had forgotten about that. Thank you all for your responses. Happy flying! Keep the pointy end forward, and may the wind always be at your Six. Best Regards, Dick Goller

I have been flying FS9 on the same platform for the past 6 years. Recently, I chose to go flying and could not communicate with ATC. I can manually tune the radios, yet there seems to be no way to bring up choices on the ATC window. It opens up and is empty. I can hear and read traffic from others, Tower, Ground control, other aircraft, and ATIS, yet I have no way to transmit to anyone. I haven't yet tried an IFR flight plan with this problem so I don't know if I would be receiving instructions along my route even though I can not respond. Does anyone have ideas on how to fix this. Yes, I did a complete uninstall/re-install when this first appeared. I generally fly out of a very quiet airfield, so even though it is a towered airport, I treat it as an uncontrolled field and just go flying. I also went through the first 10 pages of this forum looking for this very question before starting this post. Anyone's help with this will be greatly appreciated as it is very frustrating to not be able to use the full capabilities of the program. Thank you all in advance.
