Microsoft Flight Simulator X and Windows 10

I installed Windows 10 and the only program that does not work correctly is Microsoft Flight Simulator 10.  I was told by Microsoft that my Intel 4400 graphics card is the problem and by Intel that they do not have a Windows 10 driver for the Intel 4400.  What are the least expensive graphic cards that will run Microsoft Flight Simulator X on Windows 10?

    Just upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 10, and had many of the same issues described by others.  Was at a loss until I tried the solution given here - Customize, DX10 preview off, antialiasing on, Trilinear.  This has worked!  Thank you so much.

    After installing Windows 10 FSX is the only program not working properly.  When I try to end a flight or save a flight the screen goes blank when I press the Esc key but will come back on when I press the Esc key again.  The only way to end the flight is to go to the task manager and end the program.  Also there is no mouse pointer on the screen to operate the flight controls.

    In my case I have resolved the issues of black screen by

    -running in compatibility mode with Windows Vista (SP2)

    The only outstanding issue is that the mouse is not available in the screen for the flight controls

    Any ideas how to overcome this situation?

    mouse is available in every menu, only in the fligt screen it is not available.

    Regards

    To fix this, First go into FSX settings click Customize and tick Preview DirextX 10

    Hi ! Microsoft, or as hard as, it goes,

           I own a Lenovo G50, that has a Radeon Video board, which has an AMD

           Vpc on the Radeon board.  So the Intel 4400 graphics card issue, isn't

           the problemo !  I suspect, the ill fated error message 1268, has been the

           problem, since I tried to install Flight Sim X, several times, by the way.

           This isn't the first time, I've encountered, failed install proceedures,

           Train Simulator ( another Microsoft app ) has been a disappointment

           due to it's 1998 dated release, even, though, I was installing it, on a

           Microsoft operating system, of the 32-bit resolution.

           Now ! could this be coincident, disk failure or am I having a virtual

           cyber reality,  nightmare ?  In any event, I could use support or

           suggestion(s) as to what a simple (minded, maybe ) laptop user

           could do to remedy, this impasse.

           Any effort, on Microsoft's part, would be greatly, appreciate

           Thank you, Stephen Hummer, at ******@netzero.com

            Have nice day !!!!
