Symptoms:
When playing Flight Simulator X in Windows Vista, with a dual display configuration, the primary display will flash on and off or display severe graphical corruption when starting a flight.

On a Windows Vista-based computer that is connected to more than one monitor, the Microsoft Flight Simulator X game display flickers and becomes corrupted. When this problem occurs, you cannot play Flight Simulator X.

This problem occurs when you change the monitor configuration after you start Flight Simulator X. This problem also occurs when you do not set the monitor configuration to the default monitor configuration for Flight Simulator X when the game starts.
