Title: New PC not working
Post by: United on December 25, 2003, 09:19:31 PM
I gave myself a new PC for Christmas this year, not the greatest thing out there, but it gets the job done.  I have a few questions that I don't really understand.

I installed AH on my new PC a few minutes ago, ran it, and I am now confused.  On the start-up screen, instead of seeing the AH logo, I get a solid white background, yet the clipboard still works.  I open a game and I get a frame rate of 0.

On my old PC, AH worked great.  Old PC specs:

Compaq Presario 1999 (Desktop)
P3 700MHz
128 MB RAM
20.0 GHz Hard Drive
64MB Video Card


New PC specs:

Toshiba Portege 3480CT (Laptop) 1999
P3 700MHz
192.0 MB RAM
20.0 GHz HD
Video card?  (Enables 32 bit Colors, unlike old PC)*


*Default Video Settings, Whatever they may be.


Can anyone help me out here?  I got a better PC than I had before and it can't run AH.  I'm out of options.

Ah go figure, found out I got a 8 MB video card.  How wonderful...

Yeah, got a 16mb card in my 3 year old thinkpad....no go for AH2, great for AH1

And if you are really "unlucky" you also have shared mem on that card of yours.
