I am confused with peoples inability to run IL2 in Win7. I installed mine into Program Files (x86) and it runs like a charm, even with UP2.0 installed. Maybe not all windows are created equal?

Yeah, it also lets me wondering about it too, my previous computer was a custom made with XP and I never had trouble with it over IL-2 1946, but now it gives me a serious headache, I'm probably will gear it up with a duel boot way, back with my good old XP.

Try to reinstall driver for your graphics card. Do not use microsoft ones, use driver directly from your chip vendor.
And try to install DirextX redistributable, maybe it helps.

My computer wasn't a custom type bought piece by piece, it was only made in a factory, just the average factory made computer.

Run it as administrator, and WIN XP version 2 compatibility. Do not run it with vista comp, it won't do anything. Same thing goes for hyperlobby.

Already tried it, just failed too.
