There is that chance.. There are so many variables with a PC.. Hardware and Software wise where one change can make a big difference.. Thus you have to decide how important simulation the battle of Britain is to you. If you decide it is important, make sure you keep track of your changes so you can revert back.

Your not alone..
In the early days of PC gaming you had to be a real nerd to get things to work.. Setting IRQ's editing AUTOEXEC.BAT files, messing with the 386mem.sys config, etc. I am actually glad I live through that period because I learned a lot about PCs playing games back than, that base knowledge still comes in handy to this day, not only at home but in my line of work. Over the past 20 years PCs have become more user friendly, such that it does not require a nerd level to play games anymore.. But in cutting edge technologies, like we have with the new CoD graphics engine, which is using the newest DirectX 11 API, the nerd level is required in some cases to get things running smooth.

Take good notes! For example, before I update my NVIDIA drivers, I take screen captures of my current settings in the NVIDIA display.. Nerd tweaking is very time consuming.. You only want to change one variable at a time, than test it.

No need to apologize! I didn't provide that example for just you! Others here clearly needed that explanation, even more than you! But you were the one that brought it up, thus I responded to you!
