I did a fresh install & rebuilt my game from the "UI 1.1" up... I put it in C:/Games/UBI/IL2 1946. I right click my exe and set to compatibility mode XP. I also set ALL of my Security permissions to "all", from "administrator" to "user". I also unlocked all the files from "read-only" (that way I could re-set my config file). It is possible that changing my permissions could have cover this last one, but hay...
