One of the problems I have is I can not fly in Windowed mode. If I do and switch ot other windows it tends to crash FS. Trying to switch from Full screen to windowed mode and back again is another sure fire way to crash the sim.

I fly in full screen mode and use the Windows key to minimize FS and keep it running when switch to other functions such as posting.

Yup, have the same issue. My workaround has been to have something else open and showing in the taskbar. I ALT+TAB to get in and out of FS and into the Duenna, webpage, explorer etc. ALT+ENTER or windowed mode will lock up the sim every time. Something I installed or updated several months ago caused the problem. Never thought of using the Windows key. Have to try that. :kilroy:

Don't have that problem with FSX for some reason.
 
I beleiev what may be crashing the sim/computer is the fact that FS takes control of the video settings, which may have some conflict with your standard video settings or your computer monitor capabilities. For instance switching to VC view on my laptop will sieze the video in the sim (though the plane keeps flying) when my color settings are set to high. Try experimenting with various sim and computer video settings....

Good Luck: t.
 
If no one else is out there I am set up to fly leg HLLT-HLLS.

If anyone needs/wants a leg let me know. T.
