Title: AcesHigh.exe causes error unknown blah..
Post by: DB603 on January 28, 2001, 09:39:00 AM

S!

 My problem is as follows.I fire up AH to play some rounds and then quit.Nothing there.So..I do want to go back in a few moments and fire it up again.The screen turns white and the video option pops up.I press OK and then I get this error message stating "AH.exe has caused <unknown> error..blahblah" and then jumps to desktop.After restart works ok.Any suggestions?Maybe driver related?

It sounds to me like it is trying to check video setup every time you start the game, it should only do the the first time you run it (after install)  I would uninstall it and if you have cable or DSL redownload the game and reinstall, the crashing when doing video setup is somewhat commen and not a big deal since you SHOULD only have to to it once.  Let me know what turns up.

Another possibility is that for some reason your video.cfg file in the settings folder is set to read only. Right click on it and click on properties and check to make sure it is set to archive only and not read only.

Actually I was experiencing the same problem, but I got it fixed. I happened to get a copy of Norton Utilities with the MS Office CD I bought and pt it on. I ran all the error checking and fixing utilities on it and haven't seen that error message since. So my best guess. is there is an error in the registry somewhere causing the problem.. recommend looking into or borrowing someone's Norton utilities.

S!

 I re-installed RW and AH.It seemed to cure the problem.Only occasionally the game causes error in the Ddhelp.exe.Thanx for the advice!

PS! It started again.Worked for a while but starts over in a few start-ups.
