Go to Start / run  

type in dxdiag

let the direct X program run .. then clic on save
this creates a note pad file on you desk top .
now open it and copy and paste the just the system and Video (display devices)  info .

It will look like this .....( you can edit out the machine name if you want)

Thanks Brian ... But your pc is way below specs , and your video card doesnt support T & L at all .

you have a

Intel Pentium III, ~550MHz
96MB RAM

Diamond Viper V730
16mb ram

and your video card and drivers are way outta date (Driver Date/Size: 5/13/1999)   for any modern games

you need at least a
 800mhz  to 1.0 ghz  cpu
256 mb's of ram
a video card with at least 64mb's of ram (Gforce 4 at least ) to play AH 2 ... Sorry man .

(maybe that fat Elf will bring ya a new pc )

nope sorry, HiTechcreations stopped support for AH 1 when AHII came out.

there might be a version out on the internet smoewhere, but other than flying offline alone, there is not much you can do with it (ohh i forgot LAN play directly connected to another PC in the room).
I don't know what to put here yet.

I think Air attack (Fighter Ace 1.5)  is hosted on a server in England/Europe . not shure if they have a free trail or not .

I think you can play combat flight simulator 1 and 2 ,crimson skys, and probely some of the ww1 type sim's , red ace,the earlier verson of dawn of aces,ect

BF1942 may be playable also with the grafics turned all the way down .


But for all the modern Flight games your gonna need a better/newer pc thats set up more towards gaming .

AH1 even in offline mode may not work on your pc . (it went beyond my pent 2 550mhz /intel 810 32mb grafics around verson 1.08) 1.14 was the last verson of ah1 .
