Thanks dutch but I think you may have confused my problem with a google chrome issue.

As it turns out, I only just now figured out how to get it to work, I went to the compatibility setting page and checked the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings" option and tah dah it worked.

So now I have to work out how to force the function lock to stay active and prevrnt the F1 key taking me to windows help and the F2 key changing the screen brightness.

But at least with the resolution problem sorted I can now consider investing in a 2nd CH joystick for the notebook and maybe another set of rudders so i can have a portable sim' machine.

Well as for the Function Key issue or as I have now learned more correctly described as an Action Key issue.

Well I took to Google to try and find a solution and by a fortunate coincidence (or perhaps by a well orchestrated and pre-empted Google design - My work PC is a HP also) the top search result for “windows 8 f1” took me to the following HP site:

…..and to this

How to Disable Windows 8 F1 Key Shortcut

KleinC,

If you hold down the ESC when you power on the computer, it should give you a startup menu.
Select BIOS Setup (F10). This will take you to a Setup Utility. Arrow over to System Configuration.

You should now have the option to disable action keys.

Here is a link that will show you how to disable action keys.

Let me know how everything goes.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!

Have a good day.
I work for HP.

So when I get home this evening I guess I’ll giving it a whirl to see if it fixes things.

Were you playing this on full screen or windowed mode?

Full screen, before I sorted out the fix I had tried both full screen and widowed and bothe were equally unusable.

Nice find then.

Almost to the point of someone making this a sticky.

No the problem exists exactly the same on Open GL and DirectX, and windowed or full screen is just as unplayable.

I guess I could try and grab the driver from my desktop and see what happens, but it's probably not compatible with the one on my notebook, not to mention that been fortunate in that I never needed to roll back an Nvidia driver so not even sure how to so, guess I'll just have to suck it and see.

I fought an issue with IL2 1946 v4.12.2m for a long time before I discovered this tip. The game launched fine but the yellow cursor would disappear as soon as I moved the mouse which would then not allow any radio button to be selected. Checking the checkbox in the *.exe Properties menu Compatability tab solved the problem.8-)
