I have a big grey space in the left upper corner of the screen, I can open a info window and get rid of it with no problem, this has been there since the first time I loaded and patched the game. I Alt/click and get all the close window commands but it will not go away..

Anyone got any clues as to how to get rid of it, I have cycled between Full Screen on/off, Pseudo screen all to no avail. Here are my system specs

Cooler Master HAF X RC-942-KKN1 RT-bought
Asus P8P67 WS Revolution LGA 1155
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz
ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-R 135mm Heatsink & Fan
MSI N580GTX 580 3072MB
G.Skill Ripjaws X series 8GB DDR3 SDRAM
HT/Omega eClaro 7.1 channel PCI Express x 1
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 910W PS-bought
Crucial M4 CT128MSSD2 2.5" SSD-bought
SEAGATE Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s (Dump Truck)
LG SATA DVD Burner GH24NS70
Windows 7 Home Premium

I have low nvidia settings on the card right now, I was going to crank it up as I went along to see what the box could handle. It's very disappointing to get it all built and load up CloD and have this show up on the screen.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Is it possible you have several windows on top of each other?
Can you edit the window at all?

Not sure.. but I had that happen once.. If I remember correctly, I had to hold the <Alt> key down while right mouse click on the grey box.. than an option popped up to close it

I believe that you can edit the info windows from the config file, if nothing else works. There should be a post somewhere on this subject.

Cheers,

I have used the Alt/click method and have closed all the windows, but that window will not go away with any command. I would be interested about the conf.ini all the other config files, if there is anything in there I would be glad to hear what I could possibly do, I have uninstalled and installed the game 3 times now and it will just not go away.

I just did a search in the CoD forums for 'close gray window' and they said the same.. Alt & RMC to close it

Its supposed to work like this:
alt-click the grey rectangle to select it, and then either move it and resize it, right-click to customize it, or right-click to close it.

So thats not working for you BeoWolf?

No, it did not work thru at least 3 reinstalls, 10 reboots, and changing screen settings, I finally got it to go away, with hitting "Close window" about 6 times in a row very quickly. So that's good now, only if I can get the dang TIR to stop changing profiles on me, I disabled that too, in TIR software. lol....

Thanks for the replies fellas, I appreciate it.

Beowolf -- re TIR profile changing: try clicking the "Exclusive" box in the TIR display screen. If you wish to change profiles, then unclick the Exclusive box, scroll & select the new desired profile, then click on the Exclusive box again.

Thanks Snapper I did that, I just needed to make sure I disabled the enable and toggle radio buttons on the profile, so when I hit like F9 it did not switch profiles on me. I usually do just keep IL-2 profile exlusively selected with it's radio button, but the profile does not give range of motion I need for CloD, so I had to make a new one for it, I just forgot to unclick the above mentioned buttons.

Thanks guys appreciate all the help.
