Hello all,
I have a question that I hope someone can help with.

When I run FSX, Radar Contact 4, ACARS, and Active Sky 2013 sp3, Sometimes I get a white screen when I close them down after a flight.
The white screen goes away when the OS resets the screen resolution. I have it set at 1400X900 which is default, and FSX is set to that too 32 bit. It gives me a warning that the Color Scheme has been changed to Windows 7 basic.
The programs run good, no visual glitches while flying. Just when I end the programs FSX mostly I get the White screen till windows resets the color scheme again.
Would this be a video card FSX problem? Other programs work fine, FSX is the only one that gives me the message about changing color scheme.
Just one of those things that bug me, Don't know if a better video card would help or not. I have a Asus GT 650, 1 gig mem.

Thank you all

When I launch FSX it downgrades the colour scheme, I read somewhere this is normal for FSX as it doesn't support the Aero function of Windows 7

Thanks,
I did not know that was why.
The screen never says why, just that it did it.

Thank you again

You can run the following code to make aero come back on if you desire:



@echo off
start "" "D:\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\fsx.exe"
net stop uxsms
net start uxsms


You copy and paste that into notepad or equivalent and then name it "aero.bat" or "fsx.bat" and you can put it anywhere.  I put it on my desktop personally and then run this batch file as administrator.  This has worked for me.


On the second line, please make sure you put the full path to your exe file.  That path is just where I have my install.  This is not the default path.

Thank you for the suggestion.
I will give a shot and see what happens
I want to thank all that responded.

Thanks for the tip 
It has cleared up the white artifact after a flight.
I guess Windows switching from Aero to Basic and back caused the problem.
When I run the script you gave me, it no longer appears.

Thank  you for the help
much appreciated

Glad to have helped, Jim!
