mattbob1` Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I recently added PNW, CRM, NRM and if I'm doing an IFR flight through the default flight planning all is good until I accidetally hit the Esc key or hit the option to start a new flight plan and then go back to the flight the screen will go black or goes to a partial screen. I have updated my graphics driver and it seemed to not change anything. So any help would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolter van der Spoel Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 if you could be so kind and give an indication of what hardware and OS you are using and the settings you have in place for fsX, would make things a bit easier for us to answer.

mattbob1` Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 I have the Intel ® Core i3 550@3.20GHz and 6Gb Ram, so are basically telling me my graphics card is not capitible with your software? A screen should would be pointless because it's all black and sonly sometimes is it a partial screen. When it's a partial screen it'ss either all black and kinda chopped into sections or half the screen is black and you can see some land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronski Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Black screen when using menu keys, sounds like the old UIAutomationcore.dll fix. haven't seen it in a while, but as your card is quite old, it may apply. What the fix was, is the dll from Vista 64. just download this version from here; http://www.search-dll.com/dll-files/download/uiautomationcore.dll.html Put it in your FSX folder, there is no existing one in the FSX folder, so put it in and see if it works. If not then just remove it. This fix works for some but not others, and if you do a search for UIAutomationcore.dll fix, you will find countless posts with similar problems you are having. Mostly, IFR flight, accessing menu buttons and either getting black screen or CTD's. Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattbob1` Posted June 11, 2013 Author Share Posted June 11, 2013 Hi Ron so far it's working haven't really got a chance to put it through the paces yet. I also think that I'm going to switch out my video card for the factory HP one since it's only a year old and not 3 yrs old like my GeForce to see how that works out. Thanks again for the help.
