Hi Moe,
I'm using an Nvidia GF8800GTX with the same WHQL drivers as before. They're the 177.* series drivers from the Nvidia website...had 'em a month or two now.

Cheers,

Roger.

Think I'll have to uninstall FsX & Acceleration

There were some very informative thread shere about the correct way to uninstall FsX/Acceleration/add-ons but these threads have all gone now with the SOH server crash. Can anyone point me to a thread on another forum or post some info here.
Thanks,

Roger.
 
Thanks Stiz, but should I uninstall 3rd party programs (Like aircraft & scenery) first?
 
i dont tend to, but then i install to a seperate addon folder and then drag n drop, if you install straight into the fsx folder it might be worth while :)
 
Hi Moe,
Done that as I have Driver Sweeper and always use it prior to installing a new video driver in safe mode. I've also reinstalled Dx9c but I can't uncheck Dx10 preview because I can't see the menu in freeflight. The "Settings" menu which I can see doesn't offer the choice of Dx10 preview mode so I can't uncheck it. The FsX.cfg mentions D3D10=1 which I changed to D3D10=0 but still no effect.
I really appreciate your efforts but I think it's now a FsX uninstall issue.

Rather than a complete re-install, try a "repair" from the RTM DVD then from the Acceleration DVD with a run of FSX in between. This should preserve your add-ons.

Well George,
I had no confidence in your "Repair" suggestion but tried it anyway. I believed it had failed when I tried to run FsX after the FsX repair had gone through it's routine and FsX would not run, throwing up error messages. So I then ran an Acceleration repair...and It Bloomin' well worked!!!

George, you sir are a "Steeley eyed missle man":ernae:

Thanks to all who offered their suggestions, I am most grateful.
