Hi Slipball
You would think Vista 32 bit was the problem that gives Launcher exe problems, but I don't think that is the whole problem. Most of my JS109 squadron buddies have 64 bit "Cray" computers and they still have L-e problems. In-fact, none of them fly CloD because of the problems. Hell, one of them spent $600 upgrading to 64 bit OS and 2Gb GPU and guess what, he still had L-e problems!!! So whilst 32 Bitters may have more of a problem than most, others, regardless of PC spec have their own "gremlins"... I do hope the new update gets the sim working to the declared spec and that we can use the game as intended.

Keep watching your six

Basically, not really of valuable information for you, but my experience: I upgraded my system from Vista 32bit with 4GB ram to Vista 64bit with 8GB ram - except for a complete new Windows installation no other changes done.
For me this nearly solved the problem: Before, I most of the times even had launcher crashes before jumping into the plane (in mp). Now, if I always restart COD after every battle, I can count the amount of crashes on one hand - extremely seldom.

In my case, it for sure was a combination of the "upgrade" to 64bit and the additional memory. This sufficiently delays the launcher crash resulting from the memory leak.

But it is not the right time now to make system upgrades - I would wait for the next (beta-)patch.
