I need help....Really!

So I know fsuipc may not be the issue but it could be. Explanation..... recently I have reinstalled and registered the latest version of fsuipc for fsx. After installation, I immediatley dowwnloaded and installed Mega Scenery Las Vegas (hence the comment about "it might not be fsuipc"). After everything is installed, fired up FSX and commenced to fly. After about 20 to 30 minutes (of flawless operation) the screen froze. I had to end the program and then I got a message that said something to the effect that my graphics driver had stopped working but had reset itself. I have a Ge8800GTX card with the latest driver. I went to the Nvidia website and checked there for issues and found none. I tried this a couple of time flying both in and out of the Las Vegas scenery area, same result. My computer runs fine with no issues in any other programs than FSX. So, the trouble started after installing fsuipc and Mega scenery. Before I start uninstalling stuff....has any one else reported a problem like this? Any ideas? Any and all help would be appreciated.

Yes, you are right. It is nothing to do with FSUIPC. It is something to do with your graphics system -- either a driver bug, or a card problem, or a bug in FSX or in the scenery you installed.

You need to go to the support place for the scenery -- if it works with everything else but not with that scenery then it may be a problem they know about. Graphics drivers stopping are, however, almost always an inidcatyion of a driver bug. Having the latest driver is not always a good thing, and even nVidia don't often admit to having any problems You might find an earlier driver works better.

There have been plenty of threads over on the FSX Forum here about video driver problems, especially with nvidia cards, so you might want to browse there too. Also, if you haven't yet done so, you might want to update your FSX -- SP1, SP2?
