AAE looks great--I just can't even get it to run on XP64. :(

I have it running on xp64, if you are using AAE With Patch 2....you will have trouble running it if there are some controllers (joysticks, wheel etc) hooked up.
Solution unhook your controllers or use AAE with only patch 1.

Nope, still no luck . . . thanks for the suggestion though!

Justin,
Take a look at aae.log and see if that gives you a hint about what's going wrong.
If I have the device for my Saitek keyboard's extra keys enabled, AAE thinks I have a joystick (joy 1, below) with 10491984 sticks on it. That makes the program crash on Windows 7 x64

Since disconnecting the keyboard isn't an option, I just disabled the HID device in Device Manager when I want to use AAE.

Sadly it doesn't even generate a log, because the program never loads at all, whether in compatibility mode or not. I get the "application failed to initialize properly" dialog box and that's that.
