Elementally simple would be you running IL2 in a different resolution than that first screen is in windows?

Could that be due to the game's profile settings in the ATI Control Panel?

Hm, looks indeed like the VGA bit is the culprit... You could try and run IL2 'windowed' instead of fullscreen... (in IL2Setup, or conf.ini, change FullScreen=1 into FullScreen=0)

To get the taskbar on the secondary screen, you will have to run both screens in the same resolution, and then tell Windows to stretch the desktop... (Why would you want that anyways? Do you realise what distance you'd have to move the mouse from the Start button all the way to the system tray? That's a looong way on a 22" + 19" screen

Gec's suggestion would be my next step too... Move the entire IL2 folder out of the 'Program Files\' folder. (Or maybe copy it first). Then adjust your shortcuts to start the game to the new folder path. (And Hyperlobby) Then try and run the switcher. If still unsuccesfull, run ChkMods (adjust the path to IL2 installation in there, via Tools, Options first) Looks like changing (some) files in the Program Files folder is being prevented hindered by your OS (Vista? W7?) Good Luck!

If you did rename/remove the _Gameswitchers folder, ChkMods should've found more than just 2 errors... it should have found at least 18! So, please retry... delete the C:\Program Files (x86)\Ubisoft\IL-2Sturmovik\_GameSwitchers folder, run ChkMods once more. 18 errors should be found to be fixed...

You could try and use CheckMods... it's got a button called 'Language Fix' It will try and fix the Language issue, but no guarantee... You should use this each and every time you start a new offline campaign. So, start campaign, do not yet fly the first mission, exit game, fire up ChkMods, press 'Language Fix' and confirm. Then start the game... it might have fixed it... Link to ChkMods v1.09

For your understanding: - There's a switcher (or in fact, there are several) to switch between (sub)versions of the game. - There's a mod checker tool (chkmods v1.09a) that can help you fix issues with mods. Hm, that'd be the version of Check mods, not the switcher... I wanted to know whether you are using the 'IL2VersionSwitcher.exe v.12 that came with AAA 1.1, or the switcher B16Enk created ('Switcher.exe')... but, probably you are using the first one. As for the error you are getting when switching, is it excactly like you said "\4.08 Mod ON"? Or maybe '4.08 Mod ON (NO 6DOF)'? You can try and delete/move the 'IL2VersionSwitcher.exe' file and the file 'currentversion.txt' from your IL2 folder, and the folder '_Game Switchers', and then run ChkMods again, and let it download the missing files. (I cannot understand how/why ChkMods.exe cannot fix the issues right now...)

To try and prevent the Error 70 on the Tempest Mod, try and de-activate it (by renaming the folder, put a - in front of it) or de-activate it using ChkMods. Then, switch 'Keep unknown mods, make them inactive' to on and run Verify once more. (ChkMods should now ignore the Tempest mod folder, and prevent the error 70. And maybe it can find a different issue...) * Which switcher are you using? * What version does ChkMods think you are running? (See the value of 'Active Mods identified as:', it's in the lower right part of ChkMods screen) * What Tempest Mod is it that causes the error? (I want to try and see what's in there that ChkMods can't handle...)

Trout, A complete and succesfull run of ChkMods should fix this issue... (Make sure all Windows Explorer windows are closed first) Ft.

Could it be you had a windows explorer window open on the MODS folder? Or a subfolder of that folder? It probably would have tried to delete that unknown Mod, but couldn't, as it was 'in use'....

Logon to the forums with the same machine (IP Address) that you run the Checker on. Then wait about 15 minutes, run the mod checker, it'll let you use it.

Now it gets even weirder, as that's quite the opposite of what I stated... You sure you did not mix 'm up? Switch 0 with 1 or vice versa?

Hm, those 130308 versions happen to be the ones I like best too... and I got an NVidia card. So, I'll encorporate those in the next Mod set that's on it's way... (It will be tested thouroughly before being released ) Thanks Ash!

Looks good to me. Room temps will have influence. My E6600 runs 33C when idle, at room temp of 23C.

5 years! Amazing achievement... I feel I missed so much of the fun!
