Does this mean it happens to everyone, no.

Lastly, I have never stated that ATI WILL fix this. I have only said they are looking into it which is pretty cool for a 10 year old game and I can't really ask for more than that.
the problem with the pullled drivers seems to be if a machine goes into hibernation... coming out of that state, the fans wouldn't fire up again.

my last experience with ATI, was the 4870x2, which was quite a good card... though the OGL part the drivers was lacking. ATI seem to have had a definite problem with OGL and it seems to be across the board with anything which runs OGL... not just il2. as of 6 months ago, the problem was still apparent.
