What Voodoo II drivers are you using?
Go to DXDiag and check.

[Westy]

Go to START, then RUN and type in:  dxdiag
It will start up for you.

Also make sure you don't have 32 bit color selected.  It shouldn't allow you to select that option with the Voodoo II, but if it did, you need to go back to 16 bit color.  In order to do so, you may have to delete your video.cfg file from your settings directory and restart AH.

Thanx guys got it working
checked dxdiag and all thing that had happened was I installed Ah a few months ago
and when I uninstalled some files were left
I deleted the video.cfg and tryed starting again and it asked me to select my card and resolution and it works just fine now
strange thing is dxdiag says my cyrix 366 chip is a pentium 233 heh
serves me right for being cheap
