I found the same result when trying to replace my conf.ini with a backup - but forgetting to copy the backup to the Il2 directory (if you get my meaning - ie. not having a conf.ini) maybe yours is corrupt or something similar? failing a reinstall there isn't a way to replace yours, but here is a copy of mine... though my system is quite low end - you will probably need to make some changes - who knows it might be of some help
