I have an HP, and interestingly, HP puts two Graphics drivers on some of
there computers.  IYP does not seem to like updating correctly on Windows 8
either at least not on my computer.  It crashes when it says there is an
update available, and then it closes completely after I have downloaded and
installed the update.  I get it going again and all is well afterwards.

Hi,
Oh well, I still have problems and I didn't find any such driver on my
system either.
I have googled around and I have read about people having problems with FSX
under Windows 8.
I may have found a solution now for my Win 7 so I maybe don't have to use
Windows 8 just for flying.
Seems to work so far.
Thanks anyway,
Christian
