I have the same problem but when you get a crash, please look at the right side tasbar and see if you have a :!: sort of sign

if you have that, that means your graphics card driver crashed

What kind of crash? Crash-to-desktop, system-freeze with Ctrl+alt+delete to shut game down in task manager OR black-screen and system reboots itsself?

Please run a motherboard monitoring programme, like SpeedFan.

Observe temperatures AND voltages, when you run the game in windowed mode. If the graphics card has a tool to observe temperature, watch that too. See if temperatures don't go too high and voltages don't dip too low.

A lot of people are having this problem with Nvidia cards on AAA when using Vista.

I've partially narrowed it down to over-heating issues that exist ONLY in Vista.

It's not due to overclocking, it's the lowsey way the Vista drivers work with OpenGL and Java with Java appearing to be the main culprit. Make sure you don't update your Java drivers past version 10. If you are going to test the new Java updates, ensure you create a restore point first.

Still working on an exact cause, but so far, for me at least, it only happens on the AAA server when I'm using Vista.

For now, my fix has been to set up a dual boot machine. I have two hard drives, one is Vista and the other is XP Pro. When ever I want to play IL-2, I reboot to the XP drive.

The latest Beta Drivers from Nvidia seem to make my system a bit more stable in IL-2, but I'm still getting the occassional "your video driver has stopped working" or "OpenGL failure".

Will post more in a new thread as I get information from Nvidia, Java and Microsoft on the issue.

I think Vista is the problem on IL 2 multiplaplayer i dont now but many people are having problems with it

I don't think it's a Vista issue....I run Home Premium 32 bit and have none of these problems.

Could it be the vid card over heating? What drivers are you running currently for your vid card?
