Hab,

Please stop using all caps. It is hard to read and considered shouting which does not help anyone.

Your problem and others seems to be related to a specific graphics driver issue. We do not know what it is yet and the "experts" do not have the same set up as you. I do have this blocky graphics background problem on one of my home PCs running WinXP SP3 with a built-in Intel graphics chip. I will try and find out how to fix it. However, if I get it fixed on my PC, it does not guarantee a fix for you.

Do you have [Graphics] [Textures] checked and turned on within FMS? If not, you will see the blocky background. Please try this and see if anything changes. Also, which scenery file are you loading?

Gunner,
Didn't mean to sound so abnoxious and out of control (rude)
to others. But your response as of now, is the only positive answer
I've directly recieved back about this problem. And No, I don't
have anything checked off in the graphics section.

I tried experimenting around with that also. If I check off "textures",
then I get no resolution (textures), back ground scene at all. Screen
turns white exept for the shadow efffect; in which I do have checked off.

Can't see it being the graphics driver itself. What is installed
on this com. is an NVIDEA 7150m. With something like 3g ram speed for
the driver. 1071mb shared video. I've got a regular Flight sim
installed, and I don't have any problems with it running that.
I seem to think that the scenery files for that program are a lot
more complex than FMS.

With that sim, you've got a lot more going on with the graphics than
just a photo realistic scenery. You've got that going on with it, if you
decide on it, plus other factors at the same time such as real world
weather, cockpit workings ....etc

No, I've tried messing around with the graphics on/off for textures
Gunner. It's not getting me anywhere. Except for wasted time
when I've tried "uninstalling / Re-installing" the program.

I've got a "few" extra aircraft loaded down, that every time I go
back and re-install, I've also got to go back and re-install those
aircraft.

And no, none of the files of aircraft seem to be corrupted and causing
this. Does this right out of the box, with nothing else added or down loaded.

Any other ideas you can think of gunner ?.........

Oh yeah,
Gunner you also metioned, Which scenery do I have checked off.
I also tried different scenes that come with the program. Like
I said, if I turn the textures off, then I get no scene.

They're all of a different scene , that I can tell. The one I'm using to fly
right now , for the most part, is "SWITZERLAND" I believe. The
one with the lean-too shed present.
That's the only one right now with a good enough reference point
for setting up for landings , flying paralel to (down) field......
turn-around manuvers.....etc
