Hot Space, sorry to hear that, I KNOW that frustration.
FWIW, when I uninstalled 1946 prior to re-install, I completely eliminated the remnant ubisoft\1946 Sturmovik folder from my drive, because the uninstall leaves alot of files and things. I usualyy don't do that, and it probably isn't related, but to me computers in general, and this game in particular, is just smoke, mirrors, luck, magic and devine intervention, so you never know! I didn't mention this above, but actually after I succesfully got it to work, and after I did the big re-install of 1946, I couldn't even get the game to run. At all. Click on the desktop icon/start up through the CD drive, nada. I uninstalled and reinstalled twice, nada. Then I checked the conf.ini, because after each install before I ran the game, I always changed resolution to 1680 x 1050 for my monitor, and got rid of the intro, and a few other routine things. Well, about 2:00 AM last night, way past bed time for a working day, I realized all along I had been entering 1600 instaed of 1680.
So maybe you are doing some silly thing too?
And now I'm poised to go from a working 4.08/.092 to 4.09b/.093......do I dare????? Is it worth it? Or should I try 4.09b and stay with .092?
Sort of a Lady and the Tiger situation, don't you think?
