You may want to make sure you're not running anything later than DirectX 8.1.  I don't know for sure but that older vid card may not be able to handle DX9.

Hi Bingo,
 In the AH "settings" folder you will find a file called "video7.cfg" Delete (Or rename) it. This should force your system to go to the video selection screen.

Hope this helps

Tried the above two remedies without success,,,,,,,I get the blank white screen , just as it states in the FAQ's however their solution does not  provide relief......deleted Dirext x9 and installed 8.0....no help there.........uninstalled AH and reinstalled it three times,,,,,,,,,hmmmm,,,clueless.  I do thank you for your suggestions however,,,,,S!

If the display device is not showing at all in the video setup, then try running DXDIAG and see if it sees the card.
