So I discovered I can enter the game in Windowed Mode, but if i try to maximize i get the error again. I installed latest graphics drivers and still a no-go

You got the new drivers from here?

It might just be your Intel video. I remember having problems running on computers with integrated graphics back in the day. If windowed mode works, might just leave it at that. If you know your screen resolution, you can use the setres command like "setres 1680x1050". It's still windowed but you'll get the most from the screen.

1400x800 was the sweet spot. Thanks for the quick reply..Im gonna bust out the old desktop tomrrow i used to play on. Figure since it's the same ol game, that formerly retired machine can work it.

Thanks for the quick response!

If your desktop has a dedicated graphics card, you'll likely get more performance on it anyway. Good luck.

It might be a resolution issue or you may have frigged up your armyops.ini file. Try "Reset and Repair AA" in your setting tab.

Armyops requires compatibility mode to work in win8, PB kicks you if you don't have it on, Windows 8 should automatically set it on startup.

For good measure, make sure the drivers and whatnot are all updated.

Game on!

Why, this game was designed to work on 8 year old drivers...

It was also designed to work on dial-up. Just cuz that's the minimum requirement doesn't mean you have to use it :)
