Title: "Blue Screen"
Post by: Mast on March 28, 2000, 12:28:00 PM

Hi Pyro:

I downloaded and installed the beta and hires stuff.  I was able to play the game at first (offline mode).  Looks great!  Here is my problem...when I go to play the game later, all i get is a blue screen.  It doesn't take me to the notepad where I can choose to fly. My system: Pentium III 500, 256 mem., 3dfx voodoo banshee, windows 98, Thrustmaster stick,throttle, pedals.

Also...I deleted the game and removed the htc folder.  When I reinstall the game, it works. The screen takes me to the video preference and I'm able to play.  Again, when I want to play later...blue screen.

Delete video.cfg from the AH directory, start Aces High and DO NOT choose 32bit.

Or something along those lines....

Thanks guys.  Citabria!  How are you!  I will do what you say and click on 16 bit, doh!  (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/redface.gif)

Or you can just edit the video.cfg file and change the 32 bit setting to 16.
