Oh, I didn't mean it to sound like that. My personal experience with laptops is that they can't compete with desktops with similar specs and if top end desktop machines are struggling with this, I figure there's little hope for a laptop. Maybe mobile graphics solutions have progressed a great deal and there's less of a divide than in the past. As for IL-2, I should hope it would run since the game is pretty old now.
@bw_wolverine: Yeah good points there, I did not mean to sound like I was jumping down your throat.

IL2 runs fine on maximum settings for me. I guess I assumed, that since the laptop was under a year old it would be able to handle this.

@Doc_UK : I got them to work by browsing to the folder 'redist' in my game folder, and pretty much running each installer in there. If it said 'repair' or 'uninstall' I just repaired it. But I found that for me, Direct X had not auto-installed in the first place. After I ran that and restarted my PC, it all appeared for me.
