Starting the Game

[jollyFE]

When I launch the game an error box pops up called
Aces High II: aceshigh.exe - Entry point Not Found

the body of the box expands...

The procedure entry point RIB_register_interface could not be located in the dynamic linl library mss32.dll     .

I click OK and the box pos up 2 more times after clicking ok.  After the 3rd OK is clicked, the game starts fine.

Any ideas.

Try this;

In the games "redist" folder, there is a list of DLL's.  They should all show the last date modified as 1/26/2011.  If that is the case, then copy the mss32.dll file up one directory and see if that fixes you.

If the modified date of the DLL's is NOT 1/26/2011, then remore the "redist" folder and re-install the entire game (no need to remove the game, just install over the top).

 I had the same problem and just saved my important files and deleted AH and started fresh. I then put the important files back in.

 I just figured a file got mixed up during the update so I just started from scratch.

Interesting.

Since the update, my Aces High game is totally hosed. Pretty much unplayable. I can load the game, select offline and choose a field and plane....however, after a few moments if I switch views or bring up the clipboard it dumps the screen and the sound loops. I then get the s/ds window. I haven't even tried online yet. I re-loaded the game and did the *.dll move as stated by Skuzzy...no change. I played the prior version just before the upgrade with no problems. However, since the new version I haven't been able to do much of anything. Can't pinpoint the problem. Also, in clipboard, if I select 'quit'...I get the same dropped screen and the sound loop. I am running XP. Plenty of RAM and a fast CPU (3.2mhz).

I also checked into dxdiag and I looked to see if there were any differences as before. None there either. (Read the other sound thread). It's probably something simple, just not sure what it is.

reinstalled the game without deleting, same results.  Should I delete then reinstall
