Hi, Again. Found out the cause of my flickering. I had recently put my old monitor in place while my newer one was being serviced. The resolution was set for a higher value than the old one could handle. However, I still can't load the 727. I get the old CTD when I try. Looks like I'll still be navigating my installation over to my WinX partition after all. I still wouldn't mind if someone would send me the old files I mentioned in the previous post, though. Thanks, Murfman

Hi, All, I tried Sandro Becker's suggestion of downloading and copying the two files, "COMDLG32.OCX" and "SmartSubClass.dll," to the "C:\windows\SysWOW64" directory and then activating them via the command prompt. The result was that now my menu screen in FS9 flickers wildly, making it essentially unusable. Unfortunately I was too stupid to back up the old files. ARGHH! How many times do I have to relearn this basic lesson! At this point I think I'll re-install FS9 on my WinX partition. I was so hoping I could have it running in Win7 64. And except for this one plane, it works (or should I say worked) fine. I was wondering if anyone would take pity on a fool and email me the old files as an attachment. It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance, Murfman
