  1. Hi Ian: FIXED !! After a week's worth of trying just about everything I finally tried the following... ControlPanel/Troubleshooting/Display Aero Desktop Effects. Beleive it or not the troubleshooter found an error and fixed it automatically. I now have Menus with text and of course ATC text. Don't even ask why this has fixed it, maybe try asking Microsoft (Joke) Regards Richard M (BTW that really is me now!)
  2. Hmmm...tried all your suggestions last week but to no avail. I think you may be correct about video card settings. I installed the X-Plane demo and in an effort to improve performance I updated my video drivers (unfortunately I have Intel HD graphics on this machine, not the bst in the world) I believe the problem arose directly after I deleted X-Plane and also tried "rolling back" graphics drivers. Also tried 4 different drivers but no improvement. I am further convinced that it is the video driver causing the problem since my other laptop has an Nvidia 9300 graphics processor and works perfectly. What I'm not sure is whether ASUS have a tweaked version of the graphics driver since none of the four Intel drivers cure the problem. I'm looking for an ASUS specific graphics driver but so far no success. Again thanks for replying, as a retired software developer of some 30 years experience I'm determined to crack this one somehow. Watch this space. Regards Richard
  3. Thanks Ian I'm afraid I've tried disabling DX10 mode also graphics driver is set to default. I've subsequently received a reply from DTG technical people who say that as far as they know the only way is to completely re-load windows 7. Not an option for me as I am away from base and do not have access to discs etc. I've run a system file check and it throws up an error on utilman.exe. Some sources say this can affect certain UI effects. I'm researching this further and will post here if a solution is found. Regards Richard. (That's my grandfather in the picture BTW, but I am much older than he ever was!)
  4. Does anyone know why my FSX-SE menus and ATC notifications are suddenly just showing single underline characters instead of text? Tried re=loading, updating video drivers etc etc etc. Cannot fly certain operations without access to menus. Help please TIA
