Hi all! <S> Since downloading and running patch 6, my computer locks up solid at the password and user id screen while I try to get online. The offline game appears to work fine. Earlier versions of the game also worked ok. Any assistance would be much appreciated. I paid for 6 months in advance...sure hope I can get this thing to work

Are you running Zone Alarm or other firewall?

I run Zone Alarm Pro (latest version). Aces High has passthrough permission. I finally got online last night. I didn't really do anything. I intend to try to repeat the process tonight to see if it is 'repeatable' <G>. Information will be forthcoming

EUREKA! As they say. Apparently the passthrough settings in Zone Alarm were somehow reset to 'ask permission' to access the internet. I could not see the request screen. By resetting the ZA passthrough permission, I now have access to Aces High. Life is good again.

And thank you for your help. You hit the nail on the head!
