you may have the video set incorrectly,ie 32 bit when your card only handles 16 bit. You may want to try and delete the video.cfg file in the AH directory and try again

Delete the video.cfg file in the aces high settings directory.

(Also make sure you have at least DX 6.1, 7a is best.)

I noticed in your message that you double click the icon. How did you create the shortcut? To my knowledge, the installer doesn't create a desktop icon, (but it has been a while since I installed AH clean). If you created it, check the target and insure it has the correct path.
