He repeated the same problem with AH2000.EXE.  
My PC works without problems with WB3, WW2OL and IL2.

Welcome to AH omsg! Good to see ya over here. :)
First, make sure you have directx 9 loaded, very important.
If that isn't the problem, please post your system specs here for review.
We can give you better advice once we know your system details.

We definately need more info to help. What info you ask, this is some of it.

Operating system, and is it patched up to date.
What cpu, amount of ram, video card and what driver for the video card.
DirectX version, should be 9.0b the latest.

That will get us started and if we need more, we'll let you know.

And getting nit-picky or technical here. This is where we post game bugs, not ask for specific help. The 'Help and Training' or 'Technical Support' forum would be a better place.

Hi Fuze,
Other simulators are stronger and more MB than AH-II with regard to the requirements.  
It cannot be that AH-II don't work in my PC.  
I display in this threat the data of my PC that it is very old but it works VERY WELL.  
Pentium III - 500 MHZ (bus 100) - 512 RAM  
Motherboard: ASUS P3B-F  
Video Card: ASUS V7700 You SDRAM 64 M.  
Video Driver: 4.13.01.1462  
Win98 SE (updated from Center Microsoft Last Dates: 2 weeks before).

I believe the minimum for AH2 is a P3 @900Mhz and the minimum video card is a GeForce2 Ultra card. I have a GeF card using 56.64 version drivers, it looks like your using 14.62s. Those are old if not ancient.
I went to vNidia and poked in some stuff and found this:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/win9x_56.64
You might want to try them.
Just to be sure if I poked in the right numbers go here to doublecheck:
http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp

With that cpu you will definately have to fun at lower graphic details, which I also do because my cpu is only running at 1,333Mhz.

omsg,

How much do you have to spend? With new motherboard/cpu you may need ram and power supply.

omsg,

To give you reccomendations on the type of motherboard cpu you need, I need to know :
1. How much are you willing to spend?
2. What type of ram do you have currently? (speed - PC2100 etc)
3. What is size of your power supply?

If you buy a motherboard/cpu and you don't check that you ram / powersupply is supported/sufficient then you would be stuck with making another purchase (your ram may not be ddr - it is most likely pc100 and so you will have to buy)

Your original system is quite old and that is the more compelling reason for asking these questions

this will be a fine PC to run AH.

do not buy a video that is built in to the motherboard. get an AGP card.


for now, i say you might not be able to play. your current PC is a little to slow.

i am sorry.

PS hope this all translates well <<>> and welcome to Aces High by the way!
I don't know what to put here yet.

Please post your budget i.e. how much do you want to spend. From this I will give advice. SUggest you use http://www.pricewatch.com

Or just go to newegg.com (i like this website)
To save on cost shoot for AMD 2500 - 2800+ Xp with 333 fsb. Plan on buying 350 W power supply and 512 MB ram
 Motherboard - asus a7vnx pretty good but then so are most of the nforce 2 motherboards for these cpus.

Again - tell me your budget and I'll tell you what is good. Small budget - cheaper components. LArger budget - better stuff
