Plan-G v2.0.5.493 & FSX Gold Won't run together

I'm Brand new today
I just downloaded Plan-G today, read through the manual, got the locations for FSX and scenery identified, ran the data load and Plan-G works great.  What a great program!

Then I started FSX and set up aircraft & location shown in the manual example, page 78.  Then connected Plan-G and all the aircraft icons showed around the area for my AC and Traffic so it was getting data from FSX.  As soon as I connect Plan-G it causes FSX to minimize and when I try to maximize it I get a black flash (split second) on the screen and then nothing - FSX is gone again.

I have 2 monitors and have tried Plan-G on each with the same results.  My computer is running Win7 (64bit) and all parts of the Plan-G install worked fine.  It is not on a network; all in this PC.  I can run FSX by itself and Plan-G by itself but the two together won't allow FSX to show on the screen.  I sure do want this program to work for me as it looks like an extreme improvement to enhance my flight sim experience.  When FSX is running normally on the primary screen my secondary screen is black so I can't show any other window on that screen while FSX is running.  I don't know if this has anything to do with it or not but it has always been that way since I have been using FSX.

I sure hope someone knows what I need to be do to get this fixed and get them running together.
Thanks

Are you using FSX full screen or windowed? It really needs to be windowed if you are running other programs at the same time on a single PC.

Thank you Tim, that did it so now I can go learn how your great program works.  This looks like fun!
