Moving Icons

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby Pato » Thu Jan 16, 2014 1:32 pm

When I run my new installation of FSX/Acceleration all my Desktop Icons move positions. I suspect that this may be a difficult conflict problem which is beyond my capabilities to fix.
I would be happy to get any suggestions from the Computer experts please.

It could be that you are using different screen resolutions for Windows and FSX. Try setting the resolution within FSX to match Windows. (Assuming that you use the 'native' resolution for Windows.)

Brilliant. It appears that that was the problem. Your guidance much appreciated. I am just getting back into FS after a long absence and I have to relearn things, but I would not have twigged
to your solution.
