Fixed!! The mod switcher from a previous install was locking up the loading screen at 95%. reinstalled the mods and switched it back and viola..runs great.

Excellent news. There is nothing more frustrating than an install that won't run!

Great job and congrats! Seeing I'm still working, it's hard to get my install going quickly (I have a home office attached to my house) so I haven't finished setting up my controllers yet, still have another 90 mins. to go until I can eat and then finish and test...

Well I'm having a hell of a time now. I've got most everything set up so I can fly now and went to test the game. It starts but the weird thing is I'm zoomed in on the upper left corner. I go to move the mouse and I see the cursor disappear. I alt tab out and back thinking this will fix the aspect ratio and it doesn't! So I decide to set it for my desktop resolution- 1600x1200. Start it up and same damn thing! Stuck up in the upper left corner and am zoomed in. Nothing I do will give me a full screen view or make the mouse work within it! dizzy

Anyone have a clue what I need to do to fix this? Thanks for any help you can give!!

Edited for more Info:

I've now done a fresh install and just testing it from the DVD without any patching causes the same problem to happen. I even started a game in Hyperlobby and launched from there and same thing. Looking at the preview from the icon when I alt tab out shows me the entire game screen but when I click on the program to go back in I'm zoomed in on the upper left corner again and no mouse... I've already screamed and cried... running out of ideas here... frown

Just picked up a new computer myself, running Win7 RC 64 bit, and unable to get the game to load. If I try running it in Open GL, the disc spins up in the drive for a moment and stops, and if I try running it in Directx I get an error message saying a dll file is missing. Tried troubleshooting the compatability mode, and while Windows suggests I run it in XP SP2 compatibility, it then flags with "program incompatible" after that. Can't seem to get any other solutions to work, and I'm not sure if anybody is experiencing the same problem I am, since most folks seem to have a dual boot. A little help please?
