wow! where do I begin?
Firstly the problem has only just occured and as far as I know I've only added the ship pack2. I have the modded P51B cockpit also but the problem started with the stock pit.
I have a Radeon ATI 2400HD, and Vista.
I will check out the dll's and the latest graphics driver and let you know.
In regards to the screenshot problem there is no screenshot file in my IL2 directory in any format, and I also have the screenshot to jpg utility installed but that didn't cure it.

unfortunately you have to start at the start and work through methodically to eliminate possible causes one by one. P.I.T.A but it's alot easier to pinpoint the problem. i suspect a hardware/driver problem but really want to check a mod(s) isn't causing the problem.

from what you've said it isn't my pit repaint (phew ) but can i ask you to check it isn't a mod problem by doing the rename MODS folder to -MODS and retesting.

assuming problem is still there rename back to MODS and carry on through the tests. if you can bear to be without computer for 1/2 hr try switching off comp for 1/2hr to cool down, then reboot and try again. if prob is still there and the gpu fan is working- air blown out of back of case and no 'unusual noises gpu is probably ok.
any probs in other games?

the catalyst AI setting is where i think the problem might lie but it really is 'good practise' to eliminate the improbable first. please check this and report.

i'm no expert on vista (still on xp) but iirc running game in windowed mode can get round the no screenshot problem- a pic is worth a thousand words
:wink:
any vista users care to comment on this?

all the best
