FSX Crashes when switching to desktop

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I've noticed an issue lately with FSX crashing when using alt-tab, or clicking anywhere in the dekstip in windowed mode. It seems FSX does not get along well with Windows 8/8.1's desktop. If I make it to the desktop and the Sim doesn't crash, trying to switch back into the Sim always results in a black screen, forcing me to end the flight. On occasion,I'll accidentally hit the windows key instead of the alt, which causes a crash or black screen. Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Windows 8.1, and/or is there a known fix?
