Hi Guys and Gals.
Whenever I restore my computer from "sleep" mode ( I have it set for 60 mins in W7) I lose the 1920*1080 option in FSX (and also in FS9) and therefore I can't load a flight as the sim stalls at the flight loading screen.
I'm not sure if it's related but I have also lost the preety Windows 7 loading animation and now have a simple "loading bar" instead.

Any ideas appreciated.

Ta.
Zaphod.

One reason that you may not get an answer is simply because no one that has read this has any idea what could be wrong

It can take time, sometimes a fair bit of time for the active members to get to read this.

All you can do is wait.

But sometimes you never get a reply Wink

I find that one also has to include a big bag of Chocolate Cookies next to the query, to attract replies.

Paul.... Wink...!

I have a delicious bag of Chocolate Cookies lying next to my query in the "Scenery and Panel Design" Forum, waiting for a reply... Wink...!

One thing I can think of is that your graphics card doesn't 'wake up' as it should. Don't ask for a solution. I don't have anything other than not putting your computer to sleepmode...

Hi Fozz..
I did see your original post but I saw it on my android phone which made it a pain to reply and by the time I got the ol' PC powered up it had vanished!

PS.
Not sure where all this Batman nonsense has come from. No more I promise.

Thanks for that Carlo. I've sort of come to the same conclusion.
I'd love to know whats happened to the Windows 7 start up animation though.

Holy-smoly, Batman!... Shocked...
Something has modified your Windows 7 Preferences!

One of the things I notice is that if you (accidentally) modify Windows 7, it takes ages to find the particular Folder and program to sort the problem out, and modify/correct it.
Windows 7 "preferences" are far too complicated, and hidden way in confusing Folders!.
It was always very easy-peasy with Windows XP...(Control Panel).

Paul.... Wink....!

P.S...what is this strange; "Android" thing, you are fiddlin' with?... Wink...!

I'm sure Carlo is right. I would never use that option. Tried it for many years ago and strange things happened every time it woked.
I have a screen saver on, but always close the pc when not in use.

Hi, I recently installed FSX acceleration on my Dell laptop running windows 7. Is there any way that I could run fsx (actually keep flying, not just pause) while, say, browsing on another window? This comes in handy while doing homework.
 

If the engine doesn't start, check the master switch. True story.

Welcome anyway in here, Russell.

Dont think you can do it, fsx will go pause when you put it on desk. You may have it running half screen when turning off full screen, but remember it takes memory.

On my FS 2004, if I "Minimise" the Sim, (Windowed Mode), it will drop down into my Task Bar and continue flying, whilst I do other things. (Just check your Autopilot altitude!).
I just click on it again to return back.

Alternatively...Menu > Options > Settings > General > Pause on Task Switch...uncheck!

Paul....FS 2004... Cool...!

Sorry Zaph...still haven't resolved you resolution problem... Roll Eyes...!

My FSX does not pause when I switch to window mode........push Alt+Enter to switch back and forth Wink
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

Russell,

In FSX goto Settings>General. Find the line 'Pause on task switch', and remove the check mark next to the line.

Thanks Hagar.
I did find the same recommendation in my search for a solution. To be honest I don't feel entirely confident messing with the registry entries so I think I'll wait until my genius son-in law is next visiting (he did build my PC after all) and let him have a go.

Thanks for the reply.

Talking about modifying Windows 7.... Wink...
....apparently, one of the most difficult things to do, is to change the Windows 7 default boot-up sound to something different!
In Win 7, it involves complex alterations to the Registry!
It was easy in the previous versions; XP, etc.
