This happens to me as well and has done so for quite a while. I have found that it mainly happens the first time I fire up the the game and after that it loads ok until the next time the computer is rebooted.

Dunno what the problem is but it's not me clicking on other stuff after I click on IL2 and before it loads and I don't reckon I've got other stuff running in the background either.

Cheers
