OK guys. Just had this problem with a fresh full install myself.

I fixed it by replacing the settings folder with one which I had on a CD as a backup.

So if you have any backup copies, just swap out the 'setting' folder.

I'll throw mine up for download and you can try it.

Rename your current folder, and just unzip this into it's place.

Be warned... the game resolution is set at 1280x1024. If your monitor won't handle that, you'll need to open the Video8.cfg file with Notepad and change the settings to whatever your monitor can run.

Quig,

Thanks!  I had just d/l'ed this latest version of AH and was having the same trouble as others here.  System is:

Asus P4B266-C mobo
Intel celeron 1.8 Ghz proc
GEForce3 w/61.77 drivers
512Mb physical mem
80Gb HD
DirectX 9c
WinXP Pro

Definitely a bug of some sort.

Glad it worked for you all


I am running 32-bit color on Desktop.

After a little 'process of elimination', I found out that the only 2 files the settings folder HAD to have in it were video8.cfg and freq.cfg.

As long as I put the freq.cfg file in there, it launched with no problems. I un-installed\re-installed 4 times so far, and just that one little file makes it all work.

Here is what is in that file:

Hope that helps some.

Thanks for that, I had the same problem with a new installation and your freq.cfg file worked a treat :)

Thanks Quig, you crashed my computer and now I lost All files.  I had lots of personal work that can never be replaced.  You owe me a new computer.

Well, it's been quite some time since i actively played AH but i usually checked the new versions from time to time - this was the 1st clean install that refused to run for me, regardless of the option i checked in the video configuration (the.cfg file was of course deleted on each try). The .zip download helped though, although i wonder if it may contain some personal information (and no, i'm not that nosey to even check that, just had a look at the file names).

Regards, az
