The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Fighter Ace version 1.5 for MSN Gaming Zone == 

= SYMPTOMS =

When you start Microsoft Fighter Ace, the screen may turn black and the computer may stop responding (hang).

= CAUSE =

This behavior can occur if you are using an STB Vision 95 video adapter driver and you change the display resolution before you start Fighter Ace.

= RESOLUTION =

To resolve this issue, do not use the STB Vision 95 video adapter driver when you play Fighter Ace. STB also provides a video adapter driver with each video card that does not use the Vision 95 features.

NOTE: Use the Display tool in Control Panel to install this video adapter driver before you play Fighter Ace.

When you finish playing Fighter Ace, you can reinstall the STB Vision 95 video adapter driver.
