I have just a startup error message with
AH 1.0 and WinNT SP5:
"Can't access DSOUND.DLL ordinal number 6.
DSOUND.DLL included into SP5 has only 5
ordinals:
1 - DirectSoundCreate
2 - DirectSoundEnumerateA
3 - DirectSoundEnumerateW
4 - DllCanUnloadNow
5 - DllGetClassObject
What is the ordinal number 6??
Is AH compatible with NT with SP 5?

NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4(or 5 or 6 for that matter) only supports DirectX 3.0 and below. There is no Direct3d support and there will not be.
There is a pirate patch that enables DirectX 5.0 support (still no Direct3d tho) and SP 5 or higher enables DirectPlay 6.x support. This will expand the list of games you can play on your NT 4.0 box. If you want the file, do an ftp search for nt4dx5.zip. That should fix you up.
AH requires DirectX 7.0x support so it doesn't matter when it comes to this game. You'll have to get Win2k and hope that HTC decides to support it. Right now, they do not. It does not appear that they have any plans to do so in the near future. Hopefully in the not-too-distant future they will see the err of their ways (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif).
