YS Flight No Window

Post by PilotC »

After running the 2015 Version of YS last night, I went back to my 2012 version to fly today. Oddly, YS would start up, but the window would never appear. I would get the typical aircraft error I usually do, but the window is not there. The task-bar shows an open session and even shows a preview of the screen, but no window. Kujo had the same issue, and his only fix was to run on the user administrator account. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If one is currently using the built-in Administrator account on their PC, this problem may not occur in the first place. I've had the 2015 version of YS since a month or two after it was released and I have yet to experience this problem with YS on Windows 8, 8.1, or 10 by using the built-in Admin account.

I wonder, can this problem be resolved by setting all YS executables to run in "compatibility" mode, with "run as administrator" checked? ie: force admin privileges?
