[desant37]

I had a oldie disc with il 2 back from 2003

 

I tried installing it and when i run it i see quarter of the screen on load up, mouse doesnt work , nothing works...

 

So i bought IL 2 ultimate edition which it said works on widnows 7, same story, i load the game and all i see is top left quarter of the screen, nothing works, not mouse not keyboard.

IL2 1946 is the latest incarnation of the original IL2 series. Get IL2 46. Ultimate was released around 2007.

Did you install it in the programs folder? If so create a folder on your C drive and name it games .. then install it to that folder. Then try it again.. Thee is no reason why it doesn't work unless the disk is corrupted .. I have multiple IL2 1946 installs on my W7 machine.. and they all work flawlessly.

If it's a resolution problem the fix is to locate the Conf.ini and open with notepad. Type your resolution in manually. I'm away from my pc at the moment, but let us know if you are still having trouble or get it fixed.

Its not just a resolution problem. I see just 1 corner of the screen but even mouse or keyboard doesnt work

Seriously go here and read through some of the installation guides in the knowledge base, it is 99% a conf.ini file wrong value, due to ultimate edition being at patch 4.11, widescreen was added in patch 4.12

All the info you need is there

 

1) Open the folder where IL2 46 is installed, its usually 'c:\program files\ubisoft\IL2 Sturmovik 1946' if you used the default install option.

Another way of finding this is to right click in the IL2 46 desktop icon to bring up a drop down menu, click on 'Properties' to open up the shortcuts properties menu, go to the 'Shortcut' tab and click on 'Find Target'.

2) Look for a file called 'Conf.ini', open it up in Notepad or a text editor.

3) Look for the following lines of text, they should be near the top:

[window]
width=1920
height=1200
ColourBits=32
DepthBits=24
StencilBits=8
ChangeScreenRes=1
FullScreen=1
DrawIfNotFocused=0
EnableResize=0
EnableClose=1
SaveAspect=0
Use3Renders=0

4) Edit the lines 'Width' and 'Height'. These lines correspond to the resolution IL2 will display in. Enter in your screens native resolution or the resolution you want to play IL2 in.

The example above is for a 24" 16:10 screen. A 19" 5:4 screen is 1280x1024 which is standard resolution for that sort of size TFT/LCD. A 16:10 19" widescreen is 1280x800 etc. More info on screen sizes can be found here.

5) Look for 'EnableResize=' and set it to 0.

6) Look for 'SaveAspect=' and set it to 0.

7)Save the file, close it and run IL2.

 

 

 

That may help but you need to check what your system needs, or go to M4T and download the new patches to make the game current
