Actually, I've tried it with and without the bufferpools, and recieved the same results. It seemed unconnected to my pools settings. However, the sound pops are somewhat connected to it, but they alone cannot stop it.

SO

I noticed that my computer was fragmented more often than normal, only after installing the 707. That was my first clue. Then I noticed how low the FPS got after turning on the weather radar. Second Clue. I now make sure to turn off the weather radar before closing the sim.

SO part 2
I deleted my FSX.cfg and logbook.bin files and had my computer rebuild them. No fragmentation, no graphics pole. I think that the weather radar may be incorrectly using the computer's resources. That supports my earlier comment that cleaning the temp files and restarting solved it. That would reset any logs/temp holds that FSX.exe uses.

So please, everyone try this to help me rule this once and for all, I need backup.

type this in to the search bar on Vista/7 or the Start/Run box on XP.

%appdata%\Microsoft\FSX and open that folder
then rename fsx.cfg to fsx.cfg.old
now go to your Documents\Flight Simulator X Files
and delete the logbook.bin file **CAUTION AS THIS WILL CLEAR ANY MISSION REWARDS AND THE TIME LOG**
now type %temp% into the search/run box
delete all the files in that folder, allowing continuation when prompted for administrative access. Ignore any "file in use" warnings and just skip that file
now restart the computer
then open FSX
is there a graphics error?

Make sure to have the WX radar off when closing FSX

that should have done it!

also note that you don't have to rebuild the FSX.cfg everytime, but it's good to do it once a month to avoid corruption.

VISTA/7 USERS THIS IS CRUCIAL

Make Sure to add the following lines to the NEW fsx.cfg after loading and closing fsx
put them under the graphics [GRAPHICS] section


HIGHMEMFIX=1
STALE_BUFFER_THRESHOLD=2147483647

credit to Jose on the another company forums for that, but be sure to install this to save headaches later on
