Game freezes on startup after driver re-installation

[Chalenge]

SweetFX is the graphics shader  and configurator that has been making the rounds lately. It can enhance the appearance of games like Aces High. The most recent NVidia driver update broke something and required either a reinstall of SweetFX, or completely removing it and AH and starting over. The precise message the OP posted is the result of the Nvidia update on top of at least some SweetFX installs, although there are other reasons it might show up. Either way, the timing made me suspect that it is the update that might have caused the problem.

Sorry for the interruption.

Did both the checks that were suggested, still cant install AH.  Should I try to download it again?

If it is the power supply, there is nothing in software that is going to fix it.

Oh, I forgot to mention to change the PSU prior the testing. My bad.

Have you also checked if you have the bad updates installed mentioned earlier in this thread?

[jollyFE]

Ok, I'll have to order one......any suggestions.

I did delete the updates that were mentioned.

It is a shame you do not have one to try.  It is a crap shoot guessing what can cause these kinds of problems, at best.

[jollyFE]

How about the install error? Should I download it again?

[Skuzzy]

Manually remove the entire directory.  That should take care of it.  If it does not, then you have some other issues going on.  Possibly some anti-xxxx software interfering.

It could also be Windows has gotten so out of whack it does not realize the file is no longer being used.  Or it is being used by another program (spyware, malware, virus....).

Ok, thanks
