FSX Menu Problem

Bob41 · 11-07-2009, 03:29 PM

I recently installed Microsoft Flight Simulator X Gold Edition. I have only had one problem with it. The drop down menus look like bar codes and I can not read them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Microsoft XP
3.0Ghz Pentium
2gigs ram
Nvidia 6800GT vid card

Hi and welcome to TSF,
In the nvidia control panel, is your screen set to the highest resolution possible?
If not, change it to that and then try re-launching the game.

Hi floop12444,
Thank you for the welcome. I tried turning the resolution up to the point that my monitor couldn't handle it and there was no change in the way the menus display.

Thank you,

Bob

Have you got the latest drivers for your video card?
Download them from my sig.

New driver did the trick. I didn't think they were that that old but apparently they were. I appreciate your taking time to help me with this issue. I just didn't think it was the video driver because everything else rendered fine. I will be sure and update more often.
Thank you very much,
Bob41
