Video Display w/MS Flight Sim 9 (FS9)



I have a Dimension 8400 with a nVidia GeForce 6800 GTO 256MB video card. My
computer w/video card was purchased in Dec, 2004. I recently downloaded and
installed a new video driver from nVidia web site. The version was Forceware
84.21. I selected that version based upon my research of what others have
downloaded and used.

When I start my FS9, the splash screen flashes as does the main screen
whenever I press the ALT key or F10 for example. I have tried various
combinations of antialiasing and anisotropic settings along with the display
quality setting. If any one has any suggestions on how to fix the flashes, I
would sure appreciate some help.

BTW, I cannot find any driver specifically for the GTO version of this card.
Before downloading and installing the new driver, there wasn't anything
wrong with my display.

Also, just so as not to waste anyone's time, I have followed every set of
instructions I can find on uninstalling old drivers, using SAFE MODE for
installing new drivers, running a clean-up utility to remove any fragments
of old driver files, etc. I even printed out and followed step-by-step the
instructions from the nVidia web site.

Thanks.

Harry
