Might be worth trying the reg fix luthier but on a FAO this morning. I'd give it ago but i'm at work atm, let us know if anyone gets this working.

I tried this and there is no difference for me, but I am running it on a laptop. Maybe I need to hassle Nvidia for a new GT330M driver for Notebooks?

Success!

IF you bought the game off Steam as I did, you will need to:

1) Browse to your game folder and find the folder 'redist'.

I found mine here :C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\redist

2) Try running the Direct X installer. ( This was the problem for me, but I had tried running other installers in there too).

So, It works....not perfect, but I am prepared to wait.

I don't think it's all that realistic to think you can get this game running decently on a laptop except for maybe the extreme gaming laptops that some companies make.

Good luck to you though!

Why not?

I plug a 24" monitor in the side and it runs sweet on IL2.

I am begining to realise that there are a metric shitload of naysayers in this forum and that maybe I should steer clear.

Anyway,are these specs THAT bad?

Win 7 32bit
i7 CPU M 620 @ 2.67GHz
4.00 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 1GB
2296 MB Total available graphics memory

Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like that. My personal experience with laptops is that they can't compete with desktops with similar specs and if top end desktop machines are struggling with this, I figure there's little hope for a laptop. Maybe mobile graphics solutions have progressed a great deal and there's less of a divide than in the past. As for IL-2, I should hope it would run since the game is pretty old now.

@ Doc_UK: Running DSC-A10 and FSX on laptop is pretty impressive, I must say. Mind if I ask system specs/game settings/fps? I'm just curious to learn. Thinking of maybe trying to put together a gaming laptop, but have resisted in the past since I wasn't confident about running the games I like with enough detail to satisfy me and I already have a Macbook Pro (awful for gaming).
