Any Other Ideas???

[StrtDoc]

I would like to start by saying that I am glad most people are able to get on and play this game. I would also like to say that I am not one of them. The following is from my post in another topic.....

Okay, I had started another post for this, but I will continue on this one.
I tried "run as administrator"....didn't work for me.
I tried reinstalling entire game....didn't work for me.
I tried renaming ahlogo.....didn't work for me.
[EDIT] I have also tried downloading and installing the ahlogo patch and nothing, same logo screen and clipboard come up, then when I click any of the options, crash to desktop!!!
Can't get into online OR offline arena...getting seriously PO'ed right now.
I am running Windows Vista Home Premium - 64bit.

So, since I seem to be one of the last people NOT able to get on with any of the above suggestions, I figured I would start a new post to see if anyone has any new ideas.

Delete the AH logo in the Hitech Creations file directory on your computer. Worked right off the bat for me.

I appreciate the quick responses, I really do....

but as I have said, I have tried all the "fixes" posted today for the last 7 hours and they haven't worked for me. I am looking for NEW ideas.


[EDIT] Here is a picture of what I am getting when I load.

did you install the game to c:\hitech creations\aces high  or somewhere else?

[EDIT] I have also tried downloading and installing the ahlogo patch and nothing, same logo screen and clipboard come up, then when I click any of the options, crash to desktop!!!

you appear to be having a different problem than the game not starting at all now...since it is opening to the start screen.

when you uninstalled, did you manually delete the old directory before reinstalling?

when you reinstalled, did you double check your firewall to make sure ah was allowed as an exception? has to be re done when you uninstall/reinstall

when you reinstalled, did you try starting the game with nothing but the ahlogo file replaced? (everything else full default)

there is another file that can cause a crash to desktop but i can't remember what it is or where in the aces high directory it's located.

[StrtDoc]

Yes Gyrene, the game is installed at C:\hitech creations\aces high\aceshigh.exe

looks like im having the same problem.

Well, I would like to recommend restoring the previous version until this update is fixed.    That would at least give a chance for bugs to be worked out.  I, personally, don't mind waiting for new GV controls or planes if it means that they will work.

Won't work.  When a new version/patch comes out, you are forced to "upgrade" to the latest version...

[Skuzzy]

A re-install of the game may not fix the problem.  If any corruption of a config file in the games "settings" folder occurs, then the only way to fix it is to either rename the "settings" folder, or manually delete the "settings" folder.

Also note, the problem could be firewall related, and/or anti-xxx related (Norton users beware!).

yeesh... Id start there. Get Win7

[StrtDoc]

Would love to, but unless someone wants to take up a collection, it's not in the cards right now.

[Bubbajj]

Both of my machines are win 7. Got it to work just fine on my AMD machine and I had to fight and beg to get it to work on my Intel machine. Haven't had time to mess with it so I'm not able to tell how the control settings are working.

Would love to help there.. you can DL and install a trial version and see if you like it. After that you can just keep hitting the "Please activate now" till you can get it paid for. You may also be able to get an upgrade.... but thats not your problem now... I just seen so much pain from Vista.
