Menu in X locks my system after acceleration pack install

Vic,

Thank you for the advise but when I tried to get into windowed mode a error
came up and I sent it to Microsoft. It had to restart the game again. I
tried again and it did the same thing. I think with all the service packs
for XP and acceleration pack it does not like eachother. Not sure what to do
now. It also does not hold my settings. I have to go back in and set them
all again. I have the updated video drivers for my GF 7900GS 450M. I have
two of them linked. I never had problems till service packs and acceleration
was installed. My Flight sim 2009 runs great but always having problems with
Flight Sim X.

I'd still try a different video driver first and also try deleting the
FSX.CFG file and letting FSX recreate it - then see if ALT Enter generates
an error. If it does, I'd try uninstalling Acceleration/SP2, doing a repair
install of FSX and then reinstalling Acceleration/SP2.
