I tried your suggestions, but they didn't work either. Oh well, it was
worth a try. Thanks and thanks for the complement on my site.

i would have to agree with icebound,since you have already tried D's
suggestions.

after doing some research on your laptop, i would download the latest
video
drivers form SiS which can be found he

http://download.sis.com/

click on :
'IGP Graphics Drivers'
'SIS661FX &SiS760 series'
if your system is a
'Windows XP 64-Bit Edition' released 03/04/04 -highlight,then go

if your system is a
'Windows XP '(which probably means a 32 bit system-released 11/03/04
highlight, then go
then 'download now'

then see if your 2D panel works after installation and re-boot.

before you download Directx 9.0c , on your laptop desktop screen go to
start/run and type in dxdiag that will give you your current vesion of
Directx and you may run some tests from there.

you may want to do some research to be sure the Directx 9.0c driver is
compatible with your video card.

to get the latest Directx 9.0c driver , go to :

i hope this all helps and you get the panel in 2D.
please concentrate on your task at hand while flying in the 757/767's and
not flying on your laptop at same time LOL !
