Please help. I just installed Windows 7 64 Bit and have also reinstalled FS9 on this machine. I have a perfect setup with my machine...nothing to worry about there. Everything is working great except one small thing. Normal protocol for me when I start a VATSIM flight is to press ALT and then click MODULES and then drop down FSUIPC to reset and/or clear my weather settings there before I start the flight. Now that I've upgraded to Win7, when I click MODULES then FSUIPC during this process, my screen turns black and I cannot see the FSUIPC setting screen. I can then click ESC and it returns me back to the FS9 application, but it also teases me with a split second glimpse of the FSUIPC settings screen that I need, but I cannot access it...again when I try the screen goes black. My mouse cursor changes color during this process from white to black as well. It seems like this is probably a silly setting that I am missing in Windows 7 or something. Perhaps someone can assist me with being able to get things going here.

PS - When I click MODULES and then Squwakbox to launch that application, Squwakbox shows up just fine. I just cannot access the FSUIPC settings screen from the MODULES drop down.

PSS - I am running the most recent version of FSUIPC 3.98

Please Help!

Thanks,

Get out of Full Screen Mode..and check that your FS screen resolution - equals the resolution you have set on the computer

That did the trick. The display settings were correct, but it just didn't like being in "Full Screen" mode. Once I left that mode, the window appears as it should. All I have to do is go back to full screen mode once I'm finished with my settings.

Thanks so much!
