I got a new computer and it has Windows 7 on it. I have installed FS9 and it runs just fine, but the graphics are not so good. So bad that you can't tell what design is on the plane, both default and DVA downloaded. I have all the graphics cards and all the other requirements but the only problem is that I have Windows 7. Is that I have Windows 7 the problem???

Nope. sounds like your FS settings. What graphics card is in there and if it's Nvidia, have you used NHancer to tweak it?

Is the graphics the DirectX? And also would the computer's screen size make a difference?

There's Direct X, and there's Direct X 10. Screen size should make no difference - your screen resolution and your game resolution should be the same.

My Direct X info is 4.09.00.0904. But I have no idea what this means in terms of type of Direct X. I have also all of the graphic settings on high.

For your DX education:

You're running an ok version for XP - not sure but seems like that's not what you want for W7

Jesse, as Luke suggests, attach a picture of possible. I switched from Vista to W7 a few weeks ago. Running UT-USA, GE-Pro, REX and AS6.5...my W7 is the 64-bit OS. My scenery has never looked better and I am totally impressed with it.

I am not sure how to take a photo on FS9. Not all planes are bad but the default graphics are terrible.

I believe the default key "V" will also take a screenshot, placing said screenshot in your "Pictures>Microsoft Flight Sim Files" folder.
