Page fault error......

[treadhead1]

OK, just tried running AH. First i get a white screen, then the vid config screen pops up. all option are greyed out except disable triple buffer, use Z buffer, (both are unchecked) and the 16 bit color option. clicking on anything brings up the following page fault error:

The thing that gets me is i just ran AH last night with no problems. Also did a total reinstall of AH. even tried installing and running the 1.045 version, same thing. any ideas?

Thanks,

Nevermind, just installed the registry from when AH was working. all fixed.

Forget never mind about it, I have just downloaded the full install and the I get an invalid page fault error in module aceshigh.exe from aceshigh too!!!!
I don't have a backup registry to fall back on (old newbie checking out the new version) so if anyone knows how to fix it can they please let me know.
I wonder how many others have downloaded the full version and had the same problem, then walked away?

Try deleting your video.cfg file from the AH setting folder to begin with.

I haven't installed AH before to delete any file, but this install does add the video.cfg file (and alot of others before crashing) and if I delete that and reinstall it makes no difference.  Installing into another directory doesn't help either.

After re-reading treadhead1's problem it seems mine is different....my invalid page fault happens when I am installing the game, not setting up the video hardware.
