I was just looking at the mce.ini file when I got notified that you had replied to this thread! perfect timing! I think windows 8 has some issues with full screen modes, I know that flash is dodgy with the new IE in full screen, but I'm also having trouble getting fsx to run as it did in dual screen mode - win8 keeps trying to stretch it across 1 and a half screens... lol anyway thanks again for your reply!

Hi, I had the same problems installing and setting up as you did, I'm also running Windows 8 pro 64 bit. However my install is working to a fashion. I installed FSUIPC4, Ultimate traffic 2, fspassengers and a plane from areosoft first before installing mce. When I started fsx for the first time after the mce install I agreed to the fsinsider.dll etc, but mce disappeared almost immediately. Once I had loaded my flight, I restarted mce and it loaded and I saw the dialog in my fsx screen. It is usable and takes commands, but the options box is just a black box - no text or buttons just a black box. mce does not load when I load fsx now, I have to start it manually each time, and the options panel is still just a black box.

please delete this post, topic being discussed by csb in another thread

I had this same problem! but have managed to fix it... When I upgraded to overdrive, the installation did not copy all the original textures to the new installation folder. So I copied all the texture files from the old install "C:\Program Files (x86)\Real Environment Xtreme Essential\images" to the new installation folder "C:\Program Files (x86)\REX Essential\images". Once I started REX, all the textures were there and I was able to select the ones I wanted and then install them in the normal way. Hope that works for you!
