IL2 loads all the way, but not quite

[nearmiss]

I recall I used to use a little utility that shut down services before I started the MSFT FS and other CFS type applications.

Now, I'm on Vista 64Bit with e6600 quad processor, 8800 Nvidia 512M, 4 gigs low latency ram.

I've not read anything about needing to shut down services in the past couple years.

I do have problems frequently with IL2 starting up, leaving the status bar a the bottom from Vista. Needless to say... Ihave no mouse cursor so I do a Ctrl+Alt+Del and shut down IL2 from taskmanager. Frequently, I have to shut down a couple times before I'm all the way into IL2.

Maybe this has been covered before. It's not a big problem. I usually shut down the virus thing before I retry.

Any suggestions...

Have you tried hitting Alt+Tab or Windows key and then returning to Il-2 via taskbar?

It's a common issue that Il-2 loses focus during the startup, especially if you move the mouse or press any button.

Yeah, I get that all the time, I just alt+tab out and then click the window for il2 in the task bard and my mouse is back, everyone once in a while I have to do it twice.
