FSX SE Black screen

[RalphC]

Hi. 

I purchased FSUIPC for FSX SE. yesterday. Great programme. Started working with it, no problems. I returned to FSX SE to do some more editing and found that, when I launched FSUIPC.. The screen turned black. Once I closed FSUIPC, FSX SE returned an was running normally. 

Is this normal? Help will be appreciated. 

Thanks

The FSUIPC options display does make FS blackout the main display. But the options dialogue should show on top.

Try first setting FS into Windowed mode (ALT+ENTER). If the options then show then for some reason they were previously showing underneath the main FS display.

The only other possibility is that the options are being displayed off-screen, maybe because you've changed screen arrangements.  In this case, close FS and look in the FSUIPC4.INI file. If there's a OptionsDialogOffset parameter line in the [General] section, delete it.

Hello Again.

Did as requested. Clicked on the FSUIPC on the drop down in Widowed mode. The options came up. screen went black. Checked also the .ini.  that was 'clean' 

Thanks
