Just an update - I discovered that if I save a copy of my pilot "PLR" file, 
before I attempt to cycle the cockpit windows, I can restore the blank 
screen by replacing the plr file with the backup. I don't have to reinstall 
the whole game. However, I still can't cycle the cockpit windows without the 
whole screen going blank again.
