I have just done a clean install of FS9 on my Vista 64bit system. I have the latest drivers and updates (Nvidea GeForce 8500 GT 512MB). I can get FS9 to start, but as soon as I minimize it from full screen mode, I get a black screen.
Also, does Vista come with .net 3.0? The Micosoft website says it does, but I cannot find it when I search my hard drive. I have to do this because I am unable to install my ASv6.5...which is reallly ticking me off! It keeps trying to install 1.1 .net, and then says there is an error when trying to install it.
I am starting to think that I shouldn't have bought a new system....my head hurts from trying to figure all this out...LOL!
UPDATE: When I ran FS9 without minimizing, I get "flickering", especially when clicking on mouse, pressing "ALT", etc. Seems to be a graphics card thing. I downloaded nHancer, but have no clue what to do with it. Am I supposed to let FS9 setting run the graphics, or do I need to do something in nHancer? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I did a search, but don't think these two problems have been addressed. If they have, my bad.

flickers - the best thing to check is to make sure that your screen resolution you choose in Flight Sim is the same resolution that your monitor is in.
For example, if you are running 1280 x 1024 in your monitor and you have FS set at 1024 x 768 you could see flickers. Also you may want to mess around with AA settings and where your frame rates are set.

I got it figured out by using nHancer to change the profile it was using for FS9. Thanks for your help, Andrew!

Andy,
Does ACARS work ok after upgrading to .net 3.5? I ask because my computer tried to auto update the .net framework and it caused my ACARS to stop working. I had to uninstall and reinstall .net fw 2.0 to get ACARS running correctly. Thanks.
