Install Error

[Stoliman]

Hi Skuzzy -

Many months ago on this PC I emailed you regarding an error I got when trying to open the film viewer.  All other aspects of the game worked fine, I just couldn't play back any recordings.  You analyzed my data and noted that I evidently had a non-compatible chipset - I'm not technical, but if I had to guess it would be a shared memory issue.

For some time I have been playing on a separate PC.  Tonight that one died, so I switched back to the original one I played on, the one on which I could not play back films but all else worked.  Since it had been some time I had to download the most recent versions, etc, which took some time.  When that was done, I was taken to the install process since my last version was out of date.  I went to the install wizard, went through those steps, then got the following error message:  "C:\PROGRA~1\HTC\ACESHI~1\AHFILM.EXE" Could Not Be Opened".  Again, obviously something to do with the AH film player.  When I try to reinstall, I am in a loop, with the same error message over and over.  No joy.

Thoughts?

[Skuzzy]

Make sure the film viewer is not marked as read-only.  Or, completely remove the installation of Aces High II, including physically removing the HTC folder, and do a fresh installation.

My wife has the only copy of the cource code for the world and she wont let go, no matter how hard i stamp on her fingers:D

With regard to the pc and film viewer problem, what system are you running ie m/b o/s graffix etc.

lol SOURCE course lol

Thanks Skuzzy, that fixed the install issue - deleting and reinstalling.

Now, however, I am bouncing all over the sky.  The controls appear hyper-sensitive, were never like that before.  Suggestions?

Merlin, here is my DxDiag file (edited for length, let me know if the full file is needed).

Make sure your JS is calibrated in windows. Then check the mappping in game and recalibrate it there as well.

[Stoliman]

Interesting.....Since I never had to recalibrate my joystick before, regardless of which of three PCs I played on, I logged off and logged back in, problem solved.  Weird.

Schatzi, please see your email, and thanks.
