Is Windows Vista compatible with IL2-1946?

It should work no problem.

Some have had trouble installing on vista but all you have to do is explore the dvd and run A.exe (I think it was A).

Installing seems to go fine for me but running it is a nightmare It just doesn't work and I'm beginning to believe it's SecuROM (UK version) and we've well and truly been given teh shaft by Ubi (Sorry but we have) at least Starforce had a fix!

Ade.

I have been using Windows Vista since November and at first it wasn't the best with IL2. Now that I have the retail versions and the drivers have gotten better I can play online without any issues. I play on Winds of War and enjoy multi player action for many hours some nights or until the wife, well asks me to get off LOL. I do have to use the XP Compatibility mode for my X52 so all my profiles work. Other than that all works well.

I've had a few problems, but a couple of easy fixes and now no trouble at all (fingers crossed).

I have just bought a new system with Vista on it ,,and cant install IL2 ,even when I go through cd and try to start manual install (setup.exe) the system just freezes.... any advice would be a great help ,,that link above just took me too the market place ........

Look at the third post in this very thread, the answer is right there.

Yes, the setup file is A.exe. It will self-install.

myhumble apologies I re read and saw that after I had posted ... I will now go and sit in the corner with a dunce cap on me head

And yes it worked thx ,,but am still getting me new system sorted out before I get back online ,,hurrhurr

Running A.exe doesn't work for me. I get Error -1607: Unable to Install InstallShield Scripting Run Time, and none of the fixes here http://consumer.installshield.com/kb.asp?id=Q108340 help. Sigh.

it all seems to work on my vista 32. just open the folder "a" and install it.

Has anyone got round the Securom problem, it keeps asking me to insert the original disk, which I have, and the fix on the website doesn't work as it includes steps that are not available in Vista?

If you've got Vista and its not running, use Launch Analysis (Securom proggy by def on Vista) on the right click menu.

I found out by watching il2fb.exe and noting that the analasys completed while it was still loading meant that the problem probably wasn't SecuRom.

I've had a similar problem before on this game, and I can't remember how I fixed it, something to do with sound drivers (Go figure).

All I see is the program get to approximately 64mb then it dissapears

Hi all,
I have a different problem, the game goes to BSMD and restarts the damned machine after about 10 sec of gameplay. This problem occurs on my desktop running Vista Home Basic, Athlon 64 X2 4200+, 2GB 667 ram,GeForce 7900GS (600/1600). On my latpop running Vista Home Premium, Turion 64 X2 TL-50, 2GB 667 ram and GeForce 7600Go the game seems to run just fine, without any problems.
Both machines use different drivers for the GPU. I believe that the drivers on my desktop are older and this is the reason, but all the other games work great with them, so I have no idea ?!?!
Any help would be appreciated.
Best,
DK

I think there is specific directions that say Do NOT install to the default address in "Program Files" on Vista.

im having a problem..the installation worked perfect but when i play the game is kinda laggy..and slow

i have

VIsta Home priemum

Core Dou processer

1GB ram.

and a standard video card that came with my PC

i just got it yesterday.how do i fix it? will a 256 MB videocard fix the problem?

Another gig of memory will do wonders I'd say. Vista needs at least 2GB of memory to run smooth. And the sim uses the better part of 1GB of memory to run. I'd say you are hitting the page file quite often when you are running the game. If it were me running Vista & this sim, I would want to have 3GB of memory.

The above is just a thought of course, although it is a fact. Allot of things can cause lagginess. But with only 1GB of memory, this could very well be the culprit.

See if you can find out what video card is in there. Maybe run a dxdiag. and post the results.
