I think that you have answered your own question – FG runs on your XP box at home, but not on your Dell. Problem is likely to be in some setting on the Dell box. Possibly in the Nvidia driver settings. They should be all set to default in the first instance. I think you should set the monitor to the correct one with the correct driver. The difference between monitors is significant – particularly crt/lcd.

Good point.  But I've taken this same flight/aircraft on my OSX machine and the DME works fine.

 

As far as the terrain being dark all around, I don't know.  I downloaded the latest NVDIA drivers, played with differnt settings in the display.  The only thing I didn't do was choose the specific monitor.  It's listed as a standard plug and play monitor.  (Dell monitor that came with the Dell box.)

Would that make the difference?  I have a Compaq presario at home with XP and don't have this problem.

Probably the DME transmitter is not at the same location as the NBD
transmitter.

DME is a separate transmitter.  It doesn't have to be co-located with
another navigation transmitter (which is often (usually?) a VOR).
