Moggy,

I'm running IL2 on Vista x64 with NP. Here is EXACTLY how to install/run it.

1.) As was stated, uninstall the game and delete the old directory of it exists.
2.) Open the CD/DVD using the explore function and run the a.exe. (this is the actual installer)
3.) When installing the game, either install it to a completely different HD or put it into a completely different folder other than Program Files(x86). If you let it install into the default directory, Vista will cause problems for you when saving your conf.ini settings as Vista protects all system files within that directory.
4.) Right click on the icon for IL2 and click the compatibility tab. Check the box labeled "Run in XP SP2" mode.

That should get you running again.

S!
