Aces High on Laptop/Problems

[Bravo80]

I downloaded the latest version, opened it up, installed my user name and password.  When I open it up, I get a strange looking clipboard that keeps flipping around in 360 degrees.  It won't let me enter either.  Anyone have a fix ?  Thanks

Run it in windows 98 compatability mode.

There are a few issues you need to deal with re: notebooks, such as disabling cpu power saving.. depending on your hardware.

Post your specs.

Dell 1705, XP Pro, 2.16 Duo Core CPU, 2GB HD, 256 Nvidia Video Card, 100 GB Hard Drive, Creative Audiology Sound Card, it's only a couple months old.

Find the aceshigh.exe file (default folder is C:\HTC\Aces High II\...) and right click it. Select Properties - Compatibility tab.

Thats a vid driver issue usually.

Sharp if you  have ati vid card use 4.12 drivers.

BTW: with that bug you can see tracers all the way.It's a exploit:aok

I'm pretty sure you'll need to disable 1 core, along with any power saving.

I use a P-M 2.2, 128M 6600go notebook.. before I disabled the power saving it would spike the cpu and cause what looked like bad lag when I pulled the trigger.

I have read of the spinning issue and recall it was a dual core cpu thing, some one might know for sure.

You might investigate coolbits to tweak your nvidia card settings, mine OC's great with zero heat issues.
