Hi Kyle,

Thanks for your help. I am a happy man once again! It all
works fine after SP1 installation. There is a problem
though which occured after I installed SP1 a month ago.
Because of this I uninstalled SP1 until I could find a
solution. I run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002, and when
I begin a flight the "Brakes are on" message at the
bottom of the screen is slightly blurred. Also (when 'in
flight') I go to access the options menu at the top of
the screen using the Alt key nothing happens. It does
seem that the options are there and the game is running
correctly, (for it pauses as it should) but they are not
shown on the screen. I think this is the case because
when I use CTRL C to end the game, it does so correctly.
Could you advise please? Thanks for help so far. My
machine hopefully is ok again now.

Thanks for your help.

Tim.
