Okay done that. Any help on the virtual cockpit side? Keeps Flickering, Cant get AP to work, nor can i find AutoThrottle? Any help?

To stop the flickering, either reload the aircraft ALT > A > A > ENTER to see if that stops it. If not, you can run the 707 ACE and select the "Flight Deck Only" option. The 707 uses HD textures which make your computer system work harder. Using only the flight deck (the VC without the passenger cabin) can ease the strain on your system so it works better.

There is no Autothrottle in the 707. It is an older jet from the days before all those mod cons became standard in airliners. In the 707, you have to manage the plane for the entire flight, I am always readjusting the throttles during a flight because changes in wind directing/speed change the speed of the plane constantly. And as the plane burns fuel, it gets lighter and requires less throttle to maintain it's speed.

What is the AP not doing? Nothing at all? Need more info before I can help you out.

In case you don't have them, you can get the 707 manuals from here: http://www.captainsim.com/products/x707/manuals.html. It could come in handy to have them.
