IL-2 and Vista Problem - Deathsight - 04.08.2009

So yeah, I bought a new computer recently, and of course I installed IL-2 1946, it was easy enough to do, but the problem was, it just won't start.

The Vista 64 is just a completely new thing in my case but I'm supposed to have Windows 7 when it'll released.

So can anyone help me out to get it workking right ??

I also want to install some United Installer with the rest of the thing.

Please help !! Cry

yes il2 works fine with vista. there is a whole thread on it here in AAA and at the IL2 forums at Ubi. i would suggest going into security and running it as admin. your sure it loaded right?


- Deathsight - 04.08.2009

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was done properly, but the game just won't play at all.

The disk was in there the entire time and it really was an original disk, I used it on XP and it really worked great, but now that I've moved on for Vista, though it does install, it just won't start.

I might as well tell you about my computer's specs hoping it can make things easier along with the configuration about IL-2 that I have.

Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q2800
ATI Radeon HD 4350 Graphic Card
8 GB RAM
750GB Hard Drive.
64 bits type.

And of course, Vista 64 for a Windows System

It didn't even worked to divide the computer into one part with XP and the other on Vista 64, I'm just getting desperate now.

If anyone could take some time for an FAQ post/thread around here, I think it could help out, I'm pretty sure there are more people with this problem.

Back on topic, I've tried everything I knew to make it work, I even called in some friends of mine that knows even more about computers than I did, still it doesn't work either.

I really need some help about this.

Could anyone please take some time explaining how it's supposed to be done ?? :?

Get out the il2 folder of program files. Copy it at c:\ or inside another folder like c:\sim.
Vista aplies special security to folder files program.

Ok, works ok but still some smaller problems this time.

While I have sounds on my Vista side, however I don't have any sounds at all on my XP side.

I need help with vista as well.
I installed il-2 ok, but I am running an ati card and I can only run it in directx not opengl. How do I run it in opengl? as I have a fairly good card and it should run il-2 on max setting with good fps, but when I run it in directx I can't get the landscape to be perfect. When I run it in opengl it says that I don't have the load.inis installed. I unistalled the game, and then re-installed it, but the same problem persits. Can anyone who has an ati card help me? as I want to run this game with a perfect landscape. Incidentally, I haven't installed any mods either as I want to sort the problems out.

Thanks in advance
