Unfortunately, you have a dual core AMD CPU.  Under Vista there is no patch which corrects a problem with those CPU's.  Being a true multi-threaded game, unlike the ones you list, Aces High II will run into the issue.

Right-click on the Aces High II startup ICON, selecy "Properties", then select the "Compatibility" tab, chekc the option to run the application in compatibility mode, and then select "Windows 98/ME" compatibility mode.

This forces Vista to run the game on only one of the CPU cores.

If you still have problems, then send me the DXDIAG output and I'll see what I can do.

looks like I have to do another install, I tried the compatibility change, than changed back, and both ways(restarted comp both times) the game won't load. Windows error as follows is all greek to me ,

Thanks In Advance for any help....


P.s. What info did you want from the DXDiag?

[Skuzzy]

I need all of it.  Please email it.  I tis too hard to go through on the bulletin board.  I have a little utility that parse the data looking for various red flags.

Wow, clean install and still Aces High crashes on startup .minimizes to a small white screen than get error message........Didn't mess with any comp settings, changed the compatibility to default, from (windows 98)
Last night before it locked up some peeps on radio said mic sounded very wierd,.
Well u have the DX Diag hopefully u can figure something out . I have run every type of system test,scan, that this comp has and everything says okay......hmmmmmmmmmmm

He doesn't just want the DxDiag, he wants the actual error dump Windows generates upon a crash. I think kilz just got used to saying that.

Except the Vista part... Sorry, moving along...

[Stgr]

lol yeah copy that OOz,, I think I did ?I think my second post has the dump error.

I did finally get the game to run . somehow the run in 256 colors was checked in the compatibility box. I unchecked it and the game loads now. Hopefully the DX Diag will be able to help you help me as far as the freezing up and going to pitch black sky with stars. Thanks for all 3 of ya'lls Input

He wants the entire dump. It creates a long "gibberish" file upon the dump that it wants to send to Microsoft.

[Skuzzy]

No, I got what I needed and responded.  The error dump is useless.  It is just going to show either the video or sound card driver returned an unexpected error.
