New PC and Trouble

[crims]

I broke down and bought some stuff, New Motherboard, Memory, Hard Drive and Video card
Im Getting an Error when I launch AH from my Desktop.

Im Running Windows XP Service Pack 3

AMD Athlon 64 x2 Duel Core Processor 500+ 2.60 Ghz With 2 gigs of Ram

Im also using the on board video Card its an ATI x1200 Series. I have a PCI Express card in the box waiting to go if needed. I figured I wouldn't stop me from launching the game but may help in game play.

I have downloaded the Hotfix Patch & AMD CPU drivers from the info I got in the Sticky above < Still nothing >
I also tried the Quick Icon fix < Still nothing >

So Before I go into Regedit Fix, I quess my question is can I do it running Service Pack 3 or do I need to go back to SP2 Or do I need to go in another Direction.

Thanks As Always

whats the error? Do you have a sound card, with drivers installed? Game won't run without a sound card. Do you have at least DX9? Just a couple things to check.

Delete the game and reinstall. Easiest troubleshoot idea. If it still happens, I am sure you will get other possible solutions. Make sure you didn't install Vista Aces High. I am unsure if that may be problem also.

Need to see a DXDIAG ouput.

There is no 'Vista Aces High.' Thats a link to tell Vista users how they 'should' install AH on a Vista machine.

[Skuzzy]

Correct Chalenge.  There is no special version of Aces High II for Vista.  We only put a special instruction page up for Vista users so they would be told about the problems when installing an application in the "Program Files" folder.

Need to see a DXDIAG ouput.

Ran DXDIAG looks like the on board Audio is not working. Went into Device Manager seems I have 2 problems there.
1 is SM Bus Controller
2 is High Definition Auto Driver setup

Not much time tonight to work on these will try tomorrow

Thanks

Tom

PS  Skuzzy after I get that fixed and it still doesn't work should I E-Mail the DXDIAG report to you?

[Skuzzy]

If you get the drivers loaded and still have issues,, then yes, please send me the DXDIAG output.

[crims]

Well the only problem I have now is the High Definition Sound.

Still having the same problem. So question is Is Fugitive right? I have to have a sound card or On board sound working?

Skuzzy I will email you with the Error file I get when launching and the DirectX file.

Thanks

Aces High II requires a functioning DirectX supported sound card.  If DXDIAG is saying there is not sound card, then the game cannot work.

[crims]

Rgr. So no need in sending you anything   

Thanks

[Ack-Ack]

Before you install the new sound card (if you haven't gotten it already, I highly recommend the X-fi Extreme Gamer version, not the Fatal1ty version), make sure that you've uninstalled the onboard HD sound in your BIOS.


*edit* when I mean uninstalled, I should have stated 'disabled' instead.



ack-ack

[crims]

Just got home....funny I did buy a Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio.

So I went into BIOS And Disabled the HD Audio Azalia Device.

Then I enabled the Auto Detect PCI Slot.   I figured it would work .................  Nope 

I start Winblows and it says FOUND NEW HARDWARE

I put the CD that came with the Sound Card Hit Install and get the message

Setup is unable to detect a supported Product on your system. Please ensure that your product is properly installed before running setup.

Well Off to the Creative WEB site   any Ideas
