Did you install any of the official patches on top of the vanilla install? Maybe you confused patch order.
Have you installed any of the mods?
If I get this right you only installed the game from the CD (that's version 4.07), it installed fine, but now it won't work?

I have tried starting the game both "out of the box" (4.07) and the patched versions (4.08 and 4.09).

If your DVD is damaged you can get a copy of the game from www.gog.com for ~$10. But it seems to me that you may have an intermittent problem...Try reseating all your cards & connectors if you think that might be the case.
Cheers and good luck,

I can get a new disk at my local store for 5 Euro's, but thanks ;) I don't think the CD is damaged, because the install went fine and the game does work occasionally (I'll get to that later).
But if it would be something with my cards, wouldn't I have problems with other games too?

Did you happend to install CloD in the same drive as IL-2. It's not advisable since CloD is a bug fest and could infest your IL-2 install.

Nope, no Cliffs of Dover for me.

In set up, check your screen resolution matches your desktop. I change monitors frequently and IL will not launch untill I match the resolutions.
My DVD will not launch it either, you could try a No CD start up IL2fb.exe file (as you are the legal owner of the software I think its O.K. mentioning that).

I have tried starting the game both with and without CD (I can start without CD without using crack, so I think CD just isn't needed to play.
And I have been fiddling around with the resolutions, but the times the game did work, the resolutions weren't matched, lol.

I have tried starting 4.07, 4.08 and 4.09. I'll try again with 4.09 but with the dll's you mentioned.
Now the starnge part is; As I posted yesterday morning, I got the game to work after I removed an old IDE disk. Resolution was set to 1280x960 while the resoltion of my monitor was set to 1280x1024, yet there were no problems. And as I posted later on, when I tried to play the game some time later, I had the same problem again.
Yesterday evening, I reinstalled JAVA and the driver for my graphics card. Restarted my PC, started the game and it worked! But the resolution was set to 1280x1024 and I had black banners at the top and bottom of the screen. So I quit the game, set the game resoltion to 1280x960, and I could start the game again without any problems. When I restarted the game later, to be sure if the problem was solved, it again wouldn't start anymore, and today I haven't had any luck either...
I'm thinking about re-installing windows if I can't solve the problem in the next couple of days. After all; I did spend 30 Euro's on a joystick for this game.
I'll keep you updated, and thanks for the replies, I really appreciate it :)
