Not trying to be a wiseass or anything, but do you not give a lot of information here,

Like system specs, any error msg's, what else is running etc... with out this type of information there is not a lot anyone can do to help you.

well i doubt its anything to do with my system specs since it was working ok before it started to restart comouter but here they are any way

500mhz cpu
256mb ram
windows xp pro
don't know what else you want fro mthe specs

i dont get any error messages and i dont have anything running in the background

but here basically what happens when i click in the program icon

the white screen shows to show thats its loading then the window resizes itself so a big thick black space displays down the side then it restarts the system

Ok,

Try to delete the video.cfg file in the aces high directory,

I think the file name is video.cfg it will be in the aceshigh root directory then restart the game you will need to re-configure the video but it should get you going.

Cheers

Sorry about that it not in the root of aces high, but in the settings folder

The files showing all screwy could be a corrupt HD data. Try using the XP check disk utility, I had a similar problem and it sorted it out.
