Newbie - IL-2 Out of the box, patched

[Coog]

Which is the latest patch for the original game that will replace all previous ones? I've been experiencing a persistent problem trying to run the game and I'm hoping patching will help. It regularly minimizes on me, and I can't find the conflict. I've shut everything I can think of off. The game doesn't crash, just mimimizes, requiring me to mouse over and maximize again. Drives me crazy. I'm hoping patching will help.

Thanks.
