T.A.,
You moved your install out of Programs Files (x.86). That is good. You changed conf.ini to SaveAspect=0. That is good.
But I am confused by some of your statements:
4.10.1 has no bearing on displays. When you installed 4.10.1 your conf.ini reverted to default.
You got a new monitor then ?
But now you say everything was good with XP and the same monitor ?

When I went to Win 7 and my first new flatscreen monitor (16:10 ratio), I had to change my conf.ini to:
[window]
width=1400
height=1050
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0
The 16:10 ratio is not ideal and gives me a mildly distorted picture (and no black bars); I didn't know better when I bought it. A 16:9 ratio is ideal.
I chose 1400 x 1050 resolution because I like to see things bigger :mrgreen:
My desktop resolution is 1920 x 1200.
Here's a chart of resolutions
Good luck ! I'm sure its frustrating for you.

Quote:I have Win7.
After I upgraded to 4.10.1 It seems I can't play IL2 set to the resolution I used to.

Quote:the only difference between my computer now and when the picture was fine is the monitor.
You got a new monitor then ?
Quote:They are different style wide screens, but the first is more stretched thin width ways.
Quote:And this monitor ran IL2 before with a different computer that was XP, not Win7.
