ahhh. Perhaps that is the problem.
I don't even know what an SSD is, and I only have my OS on a C drive which has two program folders.
Program files and Program files x86

That should be fine Paul. Dont worry about the SSD thing, thats just a new style of drive.

Make a new folder in your C drive called GAMES.

When you explore the disc and click on the a.exe..use the browse option to find the GAMES folder you made and then install it there.

It works fine on win7 in all forms including the new patched version.

Drop a line if that doesnt work and we should be able to get you sorted smile

cheers

O.k. I did that and installed 1946 into the C:/Games folder.
When I open and try to run setup I can only go about 1 frame per second, which just causes the mouse to jump around.
I un-re-installed 3 time but with the same scenario.
I did a CCleaner and defrag before this last install but that didn't help.

Any ideas?

Good Lord Papa. At 39, you're too old to learn ROF? Start the engine, roll down the runway and pull back on the stick when you get enough airspeed. When you meet an enemy airplane, press your trigger button. I'm gonna be 60 in April.
Don't pick up DCS-A10. Hoo-boy! Still, another great sim.

Ha Ha ... Pooch I just celebrated my 33rd anniversery of my 39th birthday and I have no problem flying RoF but I really don't much like the game itself.

I've been hooked on il2 for to many years & never much liked just peddling along in a stagger wing though...

Check this thread Papag.. WIN 7 IL2 <---scroll down for Wheels post .

Also check the conf ini file located in the main IL2 folder and make sure you are in 32 bit mode and not 16.

Well, I checked Wheels post and it brought "no joy" to me.

My Win7 64 bit system is set to 32bit in il2 conf.ini and in the setup.exe plus I created a copy of the .exe, but it made no difference.
I still get the jerky mouse & game.

Do you possibly have an old computer that you could use to load it?
I am using a copy from XP that I loaded to a USB thumb drive and jumping back and forth from WinXP to Win7 using it and I am not having any problems with it.

I can remember having this problem, is it the DX setting? make sure your running in OGL and dont touch the setup button EVER ...do all your settings changes in the conf.
