Ok my little bit folks :wink:
I brought a new Vista PC (32 bit) a month ago and it was only last week that I could get the game to run in 'Perfect'............but this is what I've done:
User Account: As mentioned before disable the bugger because its a pain in the ass.
Windows Defender: Same as above.
Automatic Updating: Its not like XP as it not only seems to do it when you want to, so thats off as well and I'll only turn it on once a week to see if any upadtes are around then turn it off again.
Windows Firewall: Off as well as it stutters the game too much - get a freebie off the Net same with a AV Prog as I had Bullguard already installed on this and the was one of the 1st things that I un-installed
Also (and this is up to you folks) but also turn off System Restore as that seems to work everytime you install/un-install or just play around with things.
Also install your Il-2 Game Folder on your C: Drive and give that and HL 'Admin Rights & 'XP Combat'. It doesn't work too good within 'Program Files'
Now as for the Mods here I alway's have problems with the automatic installers - the new planes in their own slots is a good example - new maps too. So what I have to do is to open them to Desktop and then install them myself as they just don't seem to work as they did on my old XP Rig, but saying that not all are as bad: updated versions or A.I Aircraft seem to install ok in the right path without open it to desktop.............its just trail and error for me and I'm sure its the same for most folks with 'Vista'
