Just to post details one more time:

Running FSX on an HP laptop with Dual Core i5 CPU (2.40Ghz) and 4G of memory.  Running Windows 7 64-bit with SP1.  Graphics card is an ATI Radeon HD 5430 with 512MB of dedicated video memory.  FSX was installed out of the box so I don't believe I am running any service packs with that.  Let me know if there are any out there I need to download and where I can download them.  Version of 707 Captain is 1.3.00.

I'll provide an update on your proposed solutions as soon as possible.
