Try this (but BACKUP your flux.ini FIRST)
I dunno if this will work, but it might be worth giving it a go:
Open your flux.ini (after making a backup copy) located in your main EoC directory. Scroll down till you find this bit:
[icHUD]
use_thick_lines = 0
flash_delay = 6
flash_frequency = 3
elements[0] = icHUDReferenceGrid
elements[1] = icHUDLagrangeIcon
elements[2] = icHUDWaypointIcon
elements[3] = icHUDBrackets
elements[4] = icHUDContrails
elements[5] = icHUDTargetMFD
elements[6] = icHUDWeapons
elements[7] = icHUDOrbRadar
elements<img src=icon_smile_8ball.gif border=0 align=middle> = icHUDShields
elements[9] = icHUDClock
elements[10] = icHUDContactList
elements[11] = icHUDReticle
elements[12] = icHUDMenuReticle
elements[13] = icHUDDebug
elements[14] = icHUDMessage
elements[15] = icHUDShipStatus
elements[16] = icHUDEditBoxElement
elements[17] = icHUDStarmap
elements[18] = icHUDEngineering
elements[19] = icHUDLog
elements[20] = icHUDObjectives
elements[21] = icHUDScore
delete "elements[14] = icHUDMessage" and see if that helps. You may need to renumber all the subsequent elements (so they go up to 20) or you may not.
