I have a similar problem, without the green bar. When I try to get into AH, I either get a system lock up at a white screen, before I ever get into AH, or the screen has "bars" on it and shimmers (this depends on high high or low i set the res) I have deleted the video7.cfg over and over and tried the various resolutions and 16/32 bit color.
Sys:
P3 933
256 MB Ram

ABIT 8200 GeForce3 (12.6 drivers)

Neither one of you mentioned what OS you are running on.

For starters, ensure you have DX8. Then get the latest sound card drivers. Get the latest video drivers for your ATI card. For the nVidia card... you might want OLDER ones.

If that doesn't do it, try un-installing the game and downloading a fresh copy. It is possible you have a corrupted download.

Had a similur problem a few days ago.

It was a corruped uppload of the directx8.1 that caused it, direct3D did not worked.
When I did a new uppload (of dx8.1)from a new page it worked ok

Maybe u should try and reinstall dx8...

I had a similar problem when running DX7 with the beta. I'll try the new download though.

Thanks,

I'm not sure that an 8 meg V2 is going to cut it anymore.

Try decreasing your resolution.

i have win 98 and i had dx 8.0 The game was working on my system the first day I got it (latest version of game with patch 2). But it would crash. I adjusted the video properties in the game (down to 16bit) and the the white screen started happening. I have re installed the game with fresh dl's and have upgraded to dx8.0A Also, very important, my video card does not show up in the settings for the game when I have tried to reinstall. NO VIDEO CARD options at all.
HELP!!!! My 2 weeks will be up without playing a whole mission

I had the same problem when 1.08 patch 2 was introduced. Start AH, click Online, H2H, or Offline the system would startup Roger Wilco and upon returning to the AH screen... Poof (white screen and reboot was the only option)

I couldn't get into setup to turn off RW so I simply renamed the executable in the Resounding folder.

Ok, so it wasn't the best solution but it got me in the air again. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Apologies, I am running 98 SE. While I recognize the possibility of a retrograde on my drivers, I was hoping not to have to do that yet as these drivers seem to work with everything else.

I believe HT has posted that 8mb cards are no longer supported

Is the green broken up bar that you guys talk about at the top of the screen horizontal?
