Humor me. Remove the game from the system (use Add/Remove Programs ICON in the control panel), in its entirety (includes removing the folder "Aces High II").

Reinstall a fresh copy. Do not create a shortcut and execute the game from Start->Programs->Aces High II->Aces High II.

Let me know what it does.

Something is messed up that is telling Aces High II to look for its resources in an area that does not exist. It could be the registry settings, which will be cleared when you run the remover in Add/Remove Programs, or the executable is not where it is supposed to be, or the folders cannot be read.

No problem. Glad that did the trick. I was running out of ideas.

Skuzzy,
Don't know if this was the problem cause for me or not, I was getting the exact same error message when I updated on the 39 release, up til then had no problems
I deleted the whole folder thru uninstall, redownloaded the game, same error message
did a complete dx9 reinstall, same problem
Then i looked thru the puter to see what had changed during that time
My wife had downloaded the upgraded AOL Broadband software
So I uninstalled that, restored to a previous point, loaded the older version of aol( the wife likes the email and IM crap) reinstalled ah2, and since then works fine
I blame aol, not sure if it was what the problem was, cuz it sure loads a lot of crap in that install, it added six processes running in background, but I blame it anyway

So that is my experience, it may or may not help-but was a solution for me
