I had to reinstall FS today and when I did, my panels all started coming out like the above picture. Any suggestions?
Also, can I delete the FS9.cfg file and have FS make a new one as it loads up? or does it need to be there for FS to start? Thanks.
The image is clipped, but see the stretch?

Yes you can delete it and have FS make a new one.

I thought of that also, Joe, but he is running FS in windowed mode; which means the resolution is whatever his desktop is set to. The only time I've have ever seen this is when I played around with panel config's and screwed up the resolution for the main bitmap, but I assume he is using the default 172 so nothing there would cause that problem.

Well, Thanks guys. But changing the resolution in FS didn't help, nor did deleting FS9.cfg. If there are any other suggestions I should try before uninstalling/reinstalling...
By the way, I also changed my video card out this afternoon.

Well, I reserve the right to bring this back up at a later date if things go Tango Uniform again, however at this point I think it's working (no idea why, just happy it's working).

quote from Matt.."By the way, I also changed my video card out this afternoon."
Matt, that would generally be considered IMPORTANT information when you are asking for advice regarding a display anomaly.
Your problem was possibly caused by the resetting of your desktop resolution when you changed out the video card. Apparently you have reset the resolution to a normal setting that can be properly displayed by FS9 and the problem has gone away. The display setting in FS9 is ONLY used when you run full screen mode.
Anyway, glad you got it working

Vincent, that was moot information. I'm not a newbie when it comes to this stuff, and I messed around w/it for a few hours before posting here (changing the resolution of the desktop, changing it in FS, etc). I'm glad I got it working too; thanks for the suggestions.
