FSX Full Screen, cant get back in..?

To be fair (and I still seriously dislike Vista), most of the serious problems with it were ironed out with SP1. Turn off Aero, turn off UAC and most things will work fine.

I still find it a gross resource hog, but I am prepared to use it now, which I certainly wasn't pre-SP1.

Is there places or even software that can optimise VISTA? I know there are heaps for XP. I also remember a heavly modified (hacked) XP going around call XP Lite or something. Never saw it though, just heard.

There are plenty of sites out there that provide you with information to slim down Vista, but even with everything turned off, it's still a resource hog. I'm sure Ted, or one of the other "system tweaker" types, will be able to give you specific links.

Although I now have Vista64 installed on my main system, I'm also keeping my pre-existing XP32 install on there as well, even though it doesn't recognise or use all my RAM... There's too much that I have which doesn't work, or doesn't work properly, on Vista for me to change completely.
 
Well drats.. Going to windows mode (Alt - Enter) and temporarily doing an adjustment just makes the small screen version turn black as well, lol..

This must be a update issue. Its never happened before..

Speaking of updates, I just got a notification for a Framework 3.5 update of 248MB.

Did you already download this?
Do you think that that might be the problem?
 
I always had that problem with Vista...It always froze or would never open back up properly....So I learned to trick it with task Manager like Bjoern said..It did not always work....

I always thought it was a vid driver issue with vista not agreeing somehow...


This is how I fixed it Bill....Pay attention here....LOL

I never dropped it till my flight was over or I was done..... It was a real pain for tweaking and testing too,having to reload the whole thing time and time again to have a quick look....

But I guess its a XP thang too now......:caked:


I wish I new more..I have seen nothing in any forums for Windows about fixing this with a tip or tweak....:faint:
 
Man, it was wierd yesterday with this issue. Mason, I too had it working now and then with the 'Task Manager/Switch To' button. It would work, and sometimes not.

If I paused the sim, then Alt-Tab out, I could sometimes Alt-Tab back in, but rarely.

If I 'Switched Too' about two to three times, I could get back in, but not every time.

A couple of times, it allowed me to Alt-Tab back in.



I did update my drivers on my vid card the other week, so perhaps this is an issue. Reason I say this, is even though I could Alt-Tab back in, when I Alt-Tab back out again, there would be a huge black area taking up 50% of my screen, and moving program windows around didnt bring the black area back, so I still had to turn off FSX in order to view/modify airplane configs and use Gmax, etc.


Man, I would sure love to tackle this beast that has krept in...

arrghh.. :banghead:
