AH won't boot up...

[JunkyII]

Got back from ST Pattys day to find AH won't load.....white screen then gives the message it's not responding.

I heard there was some file that had to be removed on some systems but I couldn't find the correct thread.

The file you are referring to was fixed in the patch before this last one and only caused a crash when you selected an arena.

If you are not getting the splash screen then something else is interfering with the game.  Or something has corrupted the game.  Try renaming the "settings" folder and see if it starts.

I renamed it, same problem occurs

Junky update your  video drivers. Are you running as admin? I cant run mine as admin, and couldnt launch game until,I updated drivers and  reinstalled direct x 9c

Is it crashing before you see the opening screen?

If so, you need to run a DXDIAG.  The opening screen is pretty basic.  If it is crashing there, then it normally means a driver is missing.  Check the sound and display tabs in DXDIAG.  Make sure the display tab is not showing the error about D3D not being available.

Well I tried running it again and a message popped up about no Sound drivers detected, sounds disabled then it froze again.

EDIT, will be getting DXDIAG shortly

Saying my sound card isn't detected.....it's got me stumped

If DXDIAG cannot find your sound card, then it is usually because the drivers are not installed, or the device has been disabled.

The game does require a functional sound card in order to run.

Did you allow Windows update to update a driver?  Bad mojo WILL happen if you did.
