when you hit
ctrl-alt-del to bring up task manager open it up to the processes tab ( with all users box checked at the bottom )
open window up to maximum then hit the Print Screen key
then go and open MSPaint and paste it in MSPaint save as a jpg or png
and post on photobucket or some site like that
or email it to me
edit: heya CJ, check your PM's

Good Day CJ,
can you give us what you have your graphic settings / advanced graphic settings set to?
I see you are using 1024 x 768 screen res, although your Monitor can go up to 1600 x 1200
what size textures are you using? do you have any of the "shadows" features enabled?
also, I found that Aces high actually played better using 1280 x 1024 verses using 1024 x 768 screen resolution...... when I would use the 1024 x 768 I actually took a bigger fps hit. I think Aces High is natively 1280 x 1024, if I recall correctly, but it's been a long time since I dealt with that issue......
do you use any "Custom" sound packs by anyone for Aces high???
I noticed you have a newer Video Driver.. are you using any Nvidia Control Panel programs with it??? ( would be something simlar to ATI's CCC Catalyst Control Center )
are you using custom settings on your Video Card? like AA, Texture Filtering, Triple Buffering, etc......
hmm... when you changed the Video Driver, did you do a proper Uninstall of the previous drivers before installing the new driver???
maybe even go in to the C:\hitech creations\aces high\settings\ folder and delete the video8.cfg file.. to let Aces High re acquire your current video card/new driver ........ ( Aces High will rebuild /replace this missing file automatically )
not sure what else to think of at this point....

Heya CJ,
try dropping your Max Texture size down to 512 meg, and in advanced settings make sure you have all shadows unchecked / turned off.......
and give it another go, see if you have any problems or black screens.....
will PM you again with my email
hope this helps
