Sometimes it can happen , you click IL2 shortcut and then nothing shows up , no game loading
but IL2 can skip loading game and will jump only to Windows Task Manager ( Ctrl+Alt+Delete )
to be running but only as a task process without game launching.
It's always worth to look in there to see if IL2 is running under processes .
All I have to do is click on il2fb.exe in Windows Task Manager to " end task " clicking yes to
warning and then IL2 1946 process will exit otherwise I can try to start game 100 times and it
will not start if the process is already running in Windows Task manager .
IL2 process must be stopped first and then starting again game will make it work like a charm .
It's not too often IL2 switching right in to Windows Task Manager processes task without launching
game loading screen but it happen sometimes with my system with XP Professional
