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.
