I got it to work.

I uninstalled MAT Manager. I then removed manually, all of the .tga files left by MAT Manager in: Paintschemes/Regiments, and the MAT manager.exe's and setup files that are left after uninstall, and the CoopRegiment folder. I kept the il2.exe, and the ClearCache=0 entry. Reinstalled MAT manager in the deffault location, and verified that it works.

It works!

I guess the installation order is finicky, and I've had to do very different things to get MAT Manger to work on my different installations.

The way I found which files to remove manually from the game folder before re-installation was by looking at the files that were in the folder that I extracted the MAT files to when I tried to get it to work by extracting MAT Manager to a folder that was not the Il2 1946 root folder.

I had duplicates of these files in both the games root folder, and the folder that I had used to extract to a different place as needed to make my 4.08m (on XP) work. This I think resulted in my discrepancies as described in my above posts.

Once I got rid of these, and reinstalled in the default location over 4.09m1b+AAAUI, everything worked o.k.

You were right! It worked! Its fantastic not to have my eyes mauled looking at the terrible old Mats. Thanks for the advice, i'd given up hope! Excellent! :3

okay, i downloaded MAT manager. it comes up fine, but when i hit load and x it out, about 200+ error topics come up. they contain messages such as: ,,yellow emblem cannot be found and copied", and things like that.

never mind. i don't know what i did to solve it, but it says ,,copying files to FB or PF folder''. sorry for the inconvenience.
