All sliders set to zero - can't change them!

Post by fournier »

Went to use FS2004 and now find that all my sliders are set to 0 and I can't change any of them! Any ideas as to what might be the problem?

Thanks

No idea mate.tbh :-(

But the first thing I would do is throw away my CFG ( well dump into another folder to back up :) ) and let it build a new one.


Sorry I can't be more positive

Thanks chaps. Not done anything to upset the install as far as I'm aware. Changed the screen resolution to suit my new monitor, it ran fine yesterday. Came back to it this morning and problem presented itself! I'll try shifting the fs9.cfg file to see if that helps.

Hi Fournier

A new cfg is always a good start as there could be something corrupt in there. :think:

And of course any further trouble shooting will be with a clean cfg.

Hopefully that will fix it.

Best of luck :thumbsup:

No, haven't done anything other than shutdown the machine prior to the fault presenting itself. Looks like the only option I have is a reload. I thought it may be the display drivers but a full removal/reinstall hasn't changed anything. :'(
