I have been using X-Plane 12,(with three monitors) successfully for about a month. Yesterday I accidentally altered the triple monitor settings in X-Plane and when trying to re-set the resolution to 5760 x 1080 the program blacked out on all screens. All attempts to re-start result in 3 black "X-system" windows in taskbar with all screens black.
I am unsure how to attempt a repair of X-plane.
Hope you can help.
Regards,
Peter

X-Plane 12 when trying to use Zibo 737-800 x early access loads three quarters and then freezes the PC. I have been flying this model since x-plane 12 first came out in the Beta version there was no problems then. Using any other aircraft XP 12 Loads. I know that zibo 737-800x is not laminars problem. However this is the problem I have got with XP12.

Until a couple of days ago XPlane12 worked without any problems then it simply stopped responding. I can't launch it. I did all the checks detailed below but it made no difference. The only issue I have with the 'clear the cache of your pc' point is that when I open the %ProgramData% folder there is nothing relating to X-Plane 12. I ran a search in there but ... nothing.
