Launcher.exe closing after 5 seconds, no error message

[Stiboo]

I've been getting random launcher crashes either in the middle of a mission or trying to start the next mission...this is what i've changed so far -

Re-installed .Net framework 3.5 SP1 ( for XP)

Cleared out the cache folder in My Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover\cache

Changed the resolution ( to a higher resolution )

I do not know which of these helped, but I played 3 missions from the GB campaign on the trot before I got a freeze..reloaded the game and done the next 2 missions...so a big improvement!

Not sure if any of the above helped or I got lucky...will keep on testing!
