Reinstall sound card drivers and directx.

The error report comes from directsound driver, either you have no sound in your box or your directx version is not up to date.

AH WONT START WITHOUT SOUND!!

Actually, you need to upgrade DirectX. AH requires DX8.0 or later.

You can get it here: Microsoft DirectX

Mine does the same..I have Windows ME/4.90 (Build 3000 )/256 MB /1024x768 in 32-Bit Color, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600 Ver. 4.0

I've tried countless timees to update Direct X and it still wont work. Also i have updated Soundblaster driver and same...im using the installation file off of the weebsite to reinstall....Anyone?

That error is due to either the sound drivers not being installed for DirectX or from using a version of DirectX older than 8.0.
The error message is coming from the operating system.

Run DXDIAG (Start->Run->DXDIAG) and note what version of DirectX is installed, then run the Sound diagnostics using the Sound tab.
