IL-2 1946 won't start anymore..?

Let's exclude the obvious:
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?

Did you try installing the game on any other computers to verify it's not a faulty CD (scratched inbetween since your first installation)?

Other than that - running out of ideas...

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,

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.

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).
