Hi fErN,

If you haven't done so already, I would suggest that you post your
question
in the XP newsgroup that is dedicated to games:
microsoft.public.windowsxp.games
or web-based
http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.games&cat=en_US_c6d5769e-0366-48eb-8b74-13863a637734&lang=en&cr=US

I'm Running Windows XP Pro.
Hardware..
AMD® AthlonT 64 X2 - 4600+
Asus® Crosshair, Socket AM2, NVIDIA® nForce® 590
Asus® Extreme EN7600GT/2DHT

The Error when starting up FSX is ..
"Flight Simulator has detected one or more of your monitors is using 24
bit
color quality. Flight Simulator is incompatible with this display mode.
Would you like to change your display settings? [ Yet / No ]"

FSX worked on my machine for a very long time, this situation just
started
recently out of the blue.

I have tried..
- Running the FSX repair.
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled including manually deleteing entries from
Regiestry.
- Reinstalled DirectX
- Updated Nvidia Drivers
- Changed Monitor Drivers
- Disabled Remote Desktop Sharing
- Obviously changed from 32bit to 16 multiple times hoping it would wake
up.
- Queried MS Knowledge base .. no luck. Like the issue does not exist.

I have lost hair trying to resolve this situation, and would greatly
appreciate any advice/assistance.
