go into keybindings and see if there is a key command to turn it off and on (sorry cant check right now). Also, what were you doing when it vanished?

in the settings folder in the game folder is one called "radio" double click the file and open it in notepad. On mine first and second line look like this....

19,xPosition
885,yPosition

You may have moved yours off screen. Resetting the text to whats above and saving it should get it back on screen and then you can adjust it like you had it

Navigate to the file C:\Hitech Creations\Aces High III\settings\radio. Right click on the "radio file and click "open". when that "error" window pops up you should have an option to use a program to open/browse for a program. Click that and then select notepad. Be sure the game is not open when you do this.

The first folder in the folder I believe if Ah3 is named AH3terr.

I tried changing the settings in the radio file but the problem persists !!

Thanks again for your help.

It may be I am the last player with Windows Vista and maybe some things are never going to work until I up grade  :bhead

If you are running Vista, make sure you are only using the DX9 version of the game.

Vista is not officially supported, by the way.

I got a pm to remove the filters file though not delete it and it is fixed  :banana:

DX9 seems to run ok now.

And Skuzzy I completely understand about not supporting Vista. It is a huge pile of poo and I am embarassed to be the last man on earth still using it  :) :old: :old:
