Hello,
My issue with FSX dates back to 2015 when an updated graphics driver appeared to cause problems, which as far as I remember were related to using the menu bar in FSX, and possibly only an intermittent problem. Sorry I cannot be more specific. From research I did at the time it seemed that an updated driver was the cause and the workaround was to use driver version 14.501.1003.0 and not to go to any higher version. Up to now using an old driver has not been a problem but I recently got Train Sim World and have had problems which their technical support say may be due to the out of date driver .
So my question is - does anyone know about the FSX problem back in 2015 and whether or not it was eventually fixed. I would like to update the the latest driver but not if it is still going to cause problems in FSX.
Below are the details of my graphics card taken from my DxDiag file:
