Since moving my FS from Windows XP to Windows7 I have had nothing but problems with simple tasks.

The latest is the grey smoke that used to come out from my MD80 series aircraft. Now, for some weird and wonderful reason, it is pink instead of grey!!

I have downloaded the latest drivers for my monitor and configured the colours correctly. I am also getting a similar problem with certain clouds. My old XP system was 32bit, whereas the new system is 64bit.

Could this be the problem?

No, I fly FSX in W7 64bit and nothing has changed.

This is an odd occurrence, I don't know what to suggest.

A screenshot might help us figure it out.

OK, silly question time.

I have never done a screenshot before, so how do I do this and post on here?

Cheers

Problem solved!!

I double checked all my settings and found the screen settings were .......x16 rather than .......x32. Once changed back the colours and clouds etc displayed correctly again.

Thanks for the heads-up on the screen shot tutorial Radarman, at least I know how to do this now!!
