Hello, tomoose
The 5% crash can indicate a missing, incorrect, or misplaced patch of IL-2. Also, some people have an older sound card which causes the issue, though it seems that you would not have an older sound card. Is that correct?
The most likely cause of the 5% crash in your case is a missing patch or a Windows 7 issue against IL-2.
It sounds as though you have experience with computers, but please allow me to cover basics that must be done.
What we know:
Windows 7 is being used by IL-2 fans with no problem.
Making IL-2 a major folder in a disk is the right choice.
Install IL-2 into a User Account with Administration status.
IL-2 is an XP program. Use Compatibility Mode for Windows XP Service Pack 2 if any problems arise.
All downloads should be scanned for malware and tested for corrupt files.
Add-ons (patches) of IL-2 must be installed in the correct order.
I have a couple guides which are relavent to this because there are some things which are explained in them which must be done to insure that IL-2 runs.
