That would have been next. I was going some folders to make sure there was'nt anything i should backup before i did the restore and found a very old forgottin foulder. :-? :| 8) Ever heard of IL2Stabb a cool little peace of freeware from back in the day i've not used since UP. & HSFX came out. It was outdated and quit working for the most part and i forgot all about it and ya know what ? It still don't work lol... BUT god bless it's little heart has somehow managed to keep a log file that lets you restore one or all pilot campains hock: and it WORKED !!!... Once i did that my mission loading problem vanished as quick as it came POOF even for the new missions i just installed hmmm... "which still makes me wonder" But for now i'm once more a happy camper YAY :lol: :lol: :lol: by the skin of my teeth. THANKS again for helping me
