Changed graphic detail, now my screen is white

[stephen]

In game I was using the sliders to lower my ground vis and graphic detail when my screen turned white.
Now when I try and open the game my screen stays white with only the outlines of the title, and no view of the clipboard.

I am running Vista with a duel proccessor, AMD..... Dell computer.

I like to play, p[lease help me.

Remove the "video8.cfg" file from the game's "settings" folder.  That will restore your video to its defaults.

TY for the response, same problem however...
other graphics around my PC seem fine, just Aces high seems affected

[stephen]

Think somthing has been corrupted,

Go to files and delete every thing that you have of HTC. That don't work ask Skuzzy.

Does your computer have Vista on it?  If so, did you install the game in the default installtion location under "Program Files"?  If so, then remove the game from your computer and install it in another folder besides "Program Files".

Vista messes with everything in that folder all the time.  Even when you disable UAC, it still is messing with it causing performance issues.

If you do not want to do that, then read this.  The section about "where are my files" is what you want.  Vista redirects files creation for programs installed in the "Program Files" folder.

Removed game completly, still have a white screen after re installing.....
Say is there a way to change graphic settins without actualy starting Aces high?

I think if I change the detial it will go back to normal, just cant see to do anything in-game.

You need to answer my question or I cannot help.

Removing the game is not going to fix the problem as the "settings" folder does not get removed when you delete the game.

And if you are on Vista, and installed the game in the "Program Files" folder, then deleting the "Aces High II" folder is not going to get rid of the problem either as the "settings" folder has been redirected by Vista to another location on your hard drive.

yes Vista is my operating system
Sorry but my 1st post stated I was running Vista.

Its wierd, when I open my hi res pack using the game directory it does a file cache and my graphics work, but I cant repeat this without deleting the game.

What directory do i save aces high to if not program files? there are no other choices unless I type one in....suggestions? 3rd day and no play....im friggin bum'd
