First, do you have a sound and video card in your system?

Next, what version of Direct X are you running?  AH REQUIRES at least Direct X 7a, but 8a would be better (required for the AH voice program in testing.)  The newest DX available is 8.1 and would be at www.microsoft.com/directx/

If that doesn't work, you probably got a bad download of AH.  I'd try it again.
