    Urufu hi.
    A lot of the problems people are having resizing then it not saving in the config as you know under win7 is because they are loading 1946 into the program files with UAC on,so its not allowing them to write and save there changes,maybe you should put a sticky under the one for getting the game to run with win7 64bit because this seems another common prob and should cover the 2 most common probs with win 7.

    I just got 3 monitors working with eyefinity. Is it possible to get any higher resolution than 2400x600? If I try anything higher than that the game won't start. I've been trying with IL2 Stab and by the config.ini.

    Hmm, not sure about that one. Are you using Use3Renders=1 or =0?

    I've tried it set both ways, but no dice.

    Hmm, start a new thread and we'll try to troubleshoot the issue there, rather than clutter this up. When you post the new thread include your dxdiag report and your conf.ini file.

    Well since I got a widescreen monitor today I'll just say my thanks to this thread. Was gonna make my own but I saw this before I did

    Damn things look great in 1920x1080

    I don't know if my problem was Windows 7 related or just widescreen related. I do know that I have always ran this computer (a Dell laptop - 17 inch LCD) like it recommends which is 1920 x 1200 and I have never had a proble before rather it be on Vista or XP.

    I never played with the config file under those OS because the game would force itself into 1600 x 1200 and force the screen that size and it worked fine with me. Now under Windows 7 I get the black bars on the side of the screen. I have tried playing with the config file and still can't fix it. I have ran as admina nd still can't fix it.

    At this point any ideas or suggestions would be great."



    I too had the same problem after upgrading to System 7. Late model Nvidia drivers gave me fullscreen with tell-tales on the sides....But also caused system lock-ups, which seems to be a common problem. An earlier driver gives me stability in 7 but the narrow screen you mention.

    I tried all the solutions mentioned in this thread with varying results...Clocks, messages and telltales inset from sides...no teltales on right side and distorted widescreen......Then I stumbled on a very strange wrinkle:

    Set your conf.ini to your desktop/monitor native res, or 1280 X 960 (the largest settable in IL2)...everything appears in narrow screen until you pull down the Esc menu, go into "Video Mode" and flick the "Attempt Stencil Buffering" switch...doesn't matter whether it is on or off as the shadows appear the same both ways.

    Screen blacks out, comes back, and my plane views are now full screen with clocks, text messages and telltales all at the edges. I have no idea why this works, it seems to force a graphics card reboot with settings that I want but cannot seem to recreate through normal tinkering. This may be card (GT220) or drivers (Nvidia 186.34) related, but perhaps it will work for you too. :-)

    I am running 5760x1080. Works fine. I'll post my graphics settings tonight when I get home see if that helps. Using eyefinity also and I remember I had to do a bit of tweaking before it would run.
