| I have the 32-bit version and windowed mode works just as well as full-screen mode. Might be a compatibility issue when it comes to 64-bit. |

yeah it happens usually when selecting a 3-d party addon like FSpassengers, the you have to hit alt-enter for me at least, it no worky in full screen mode. :lol:
the difference, nothing really, just looks cooler. Windows 7 (extremely secret from microsoft) will be a complete redo of all the past windows, but not till like 2012. |

Keep in mind, that Vista is Microsoft's "the thing we sell them for now" while they work on Windows 7.
Notice that before XP, they would create a new OS every 2 (?) years, but XP has been out for many years without a new OS, till Vista. |

i got 4gbs of ram for $86. It has all become very cheap, until you get a GPU, that is going to be the most expensive thing you buy, unless you buy like a Intel Exreme Core 2 Quad (Q9950?).
@T-fish
yeah i did notice that, maybe W7 will be the next XP :lol: |

| Strange thing but I have seen somewhere at MS pages that Vista is not at the list of systems compatible with FS9... Anyways I still use FS9 on XP and do not want to move to Vista. |
