Good point - also, your PSU may not deliver enough power to the card + the
card may not have enough memory? Or, FSX and Vista and Graphics card
manufacturer's are in actual fact all employing new technology, and the
current generation of graphics drivers may not work equally well for
everybody?

Tip:

Try downloading drivers from the card's manufacturer as well as from
'nVidia' - if they don't work try NGOHQ, they have hand-tuned drivers that
usually work very well, but they are essentially the same drivers, so may
also be [displaying] the same basic flaws.

Do note that 'nVidia' have a separate repository for Beta drivers,
accessible from the same main driver 'page', try those too!!!

It could be in issue with switching resolutions from your desk top to the
game setting.

The game draws the resolution you specify in "options" when running full
screen; check that the setting is not out of range for your monitor.

I have found the same problem, and I have Vista Ultimate. The problem is
in windowed mode only. In full screen mode - no problem. It doesn't
appear to be a video driver problem as it first occurred with an nVidia
7950GT,
so I did a temporary installation of both on an older system with an ATI
9600XT
with latest drivers, and it occurred on that. It may be a DirectX issue.
