Vista Appcompat update for FSX
The KB located at
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/932246/
contains an application compatibility update for Vista that include changes for FSX that enable us to fix the disabling of Aero when you launch FSX on Vista.
This came out earlier this year, but I wasn't aware of anything that would make me recommend it. Now I do :--), as that is one of the few issues we are considering fixing in the FSX-DX10 release outside of adding Direct3D10 support. Edit:that doesnt mean we will, just that it is under consideration and this download will be a pre-req.
I highly suggest downloading this update:

It may be worth noting that this was pushed on Windows Update as an important update so everyone who has automatic updates turned on will already have that update.Anonymous

Bobby: you misread me. this patch gives us the opportunity to do so in the future. we may or may not take advantage of it, but without it it will be very hard to do so.Anonymous
