Bflacon, your slipping no YOYO, I'm reporting you to your squad CO

Central,

What OS, If 2000 Makesure he has SP3
I hope he's using the 30.82 Nvidia drivers, I've found the detenator 40s have performance issues with AH and other games. You could also try deleting the video.cfg file. Does he have directX 8.1. You really need to give more detail. I hope I touched on something to get you going.

Turn down the sound hardware acceleration in control panel, system devices and Re-install DirectX

I get the blank white screen if I run AH immediately after connecting unless I wait a second before stating AH. If you wait long enough (longer than you think) you will get an error box pop up which on mine usually indicates a DirectX sound problem hence the recommendation to turn down sound acceleration.
