Title: Win 2K / AH problem
Post by: harlikwin on February 25, 2002, 07:41:35 PM

I run Win 2K pro.

AH works fine untill one hits the Alt-Tab key to get out and then if one alt-tabs back in the screen is all screwed up usually there is some distortion of the clipboard, and usually some of the terrain changes to wierd (sometimes rainbowesqe) colors...

I'm using an Athalon 800 with an Elsa GF2MX and SB16

and I already tried the monitor refresh rate fix I heard about (set refresh to 85hz) which does not fix the problem..

I'm also using the latest Nvidia drivers for win2k

Any suggestions?

This will fix it..... delete video7.cfg in ah..... start ah and check "disable palete swap" when video config screen comes up... no more problems.....

if it does not help, install service pack 2.
but did you try, after you were back in game with the crap graphics, to exit with alt-tab again, and re-enter again?

by the way... why dont you use the windows key?

Harlikwin did you install and run the nvreffix program?
If so, did you complete the setup successfully?

...also, make certain that your AH resolution and color depth exactly matches your windows desktop resolution and color depth.
