I know Windows 7 is just a beta - but it's interesting to hear if the problem affects others (ATI users for example)... Since Vista was so bad at OpenGL until SP1 I had hoped that SP2 (Windows 7  ) was going to be even better at OpenGL... Yeah - that's stupid.
Going back to trusty old XP again...

I have the same problem with Il21946 and DCS:BS GUI (Launcher) only. The workaround in Il2 for me is running it in a window equal to my monitor resolution with taskbar autohide on. Performance is very good, although it is running Aero Glass in the background, I get avg FPS of 40-50 with Vsync on.
Does anyone know what is actually the problem here? I thought it was drivers, or Aero Glass GUI, but I have R4850 card and mazex has nVidia and we both have the same problem... One wird thing (one other guy running W7+DCS noticed too) is that screen refresh frequency is fixed at 59 Hz in W7, and cannot be changed to 60 Hz. Maybe that is the issue?
