Just tried re-installing first the lastest UHD Graphics 730 driver from Intel (filename igfx_win_101.1191.exe) then (after turning off Windows Defender) FS9 itself, to the C:\ drive as suggested by defaid. Still no joy... :(

No gauge updates on 2D panels in either windowed or full-screen modes (although they do update when switching from one mode to the other). New PC has HDMI output only: I had to buy an adapter in order to use it with my existing 1920 x 1080 monitor, which is very old and only has VGA input. Yes, it's onboard graphics: Intel UHD Graphics 730.

yes

FS9 always "launches" whichever compatibility settings I use. The problem I have is that the panel gauges (in 2D panel view) are not updating, except at the moment that a panel window is resized or the sim is switched between Windowed and Full Screen modes...

Still no fix. :( Tried running in Windows XP Service Pack 3 mode as administrator, but that didn't fix the problem either. Didn't try that initially because I never needed to do that on my last Windows 10 PC...

Plain vanilla install: want to rule out any general issues before adding any third-party planes! All gauges and planes seem affected. No: nothing is updating No. I think my new PC has a trial version of some Norton antivirus software. Just checked: it seems like the gauges work correctly in popup panels when in VC mode. No, it's frozen just like all the other gauges. No, just using the FS9.cfg initially created when FS2004 was installed. Hope this helps, George

Tried running FS2004 with Event Viewer running but I didn't see anything untoward. Two things I have noticed which could be significant: 1. My problem is specific to 2D panels: the Virtual Cockpit (on planes that have one) works normally, and 2. It isn't just switching between Windowed and Full Screen mode that redraws the gauges, resizing the panel window will also do it, as will closing then reopening it. No I haven't: does FS2004 use .net for anything? :confused: :mad: :confused: :mad: Has no-one had this problem before with their FS2004? George

No way of getting any useful logging information that I could use to try to diagnose the problem?

Actually I created a flight with the default Cessna 172, which I've confirmed uses the compiled Cessna.gau, not XML gauges. Tried dropping the screen res to 800 x 600 and that didn't do anything... Nope -- tried both of those too, and they didn't work...

I knew all about the issues with the default directory (it would be under C:\Program Files (x86) actually given I expect we mostly have 64-bit Windows these days) but that won't be the case for me. I installed to D:\Flight\FS9 -- the Flight directory also includes directories for FSX and for my flight simulation related development tools and source codes. Incidentally I had a problem in FSX with all-white aircraft (no textures) which I fixed yesterday by turning off the "Preview DirectX 10" option...

Last Wednesday my PC died on me (most likely a motherboard failure as when I turned it on I got no video signal nor any beep from the PC speaker) and needed to be replaced. I've now got most of my software installed on the new PC, but FS2004 still isn't working properly. I installed FS2004 from my CDs, followed by the 9.1 update and the NO-CD crack (as is required on Windows 10 due to its lack of secdrv.sys support: the same was true on the now-dead PC). While I can start up FS2004 and load a flight, the instrument panel is completely useless as the panel gauges and switches won't update (even on the default Cessna 172), except at the moment when FS2004 is switched between "Windowed" and "Full Screen" modes. What could be the problem with my FS2004 installation? Please help...
