Here's a question: Can I run AH on a machine that doesn't have a sound card installed?

I get this error but it seems to have occured after I installed a second sound card. Both sound cards are available in windows. (I need the second one because it has the joystick port).

The error persists even if I disable the second card.

Any ideas?

Trip

Hey, AaronM2!

AH and AHII are the same thing, now - aren't they? I mean, AHI isn't available online, is it?

mine done the same thing and it was cause of AH crashing over a not enough free memory to run the program error. i had to reinstall my sounds drivers. i did and now its buzzing very loudly.

weird,
I have gotten that same identical error a few times over the past year, and I have never lost ( or deleted ) my sound card or anything

I would simply close the whited out game window and reclick the icon to start game and it would load up and run smoothly and error free.......

wierd how I got the error  and nothing was wrong with my system, with directx, or anything else......

I took it as a failure to intialize a key component during start up, but when restarting it intialized properly...go figure

Per Skuzzy, two sound cards are NOT advisable they might fight over resources.
Aaron, why the heck is your signature soooo darn large?
