all you have to do to fix the color display is press the little windows
flag button on your keyboard it will minimize to the windows desktop
then just click back on the game and the colors should be fixed also I
recommend playing on highest graphic settings too. My problem is I can't
seem to get the single player mode to work tho. I have the actual game
but I used a cracked version so I could play my bro. using lan on comp.
upstairs idk what he did now the single player just stops working now
any ideas

2) I'm having trouble connecting online with other players, regardless

together but now the systems (mine and theirs) tend to crash.

3)Regular crashes about an hour or two into playing.


A remedy for all or any of these problems would be greatly appreciated.

conqurers)......i have two operating systems on my computer,

I just bought a new computer with Vista Home Premium, and I'm trying to
get it to run AoEII, but after I installed it, the program would open,
run for like 5 seconds, and then quit. It wouldn't let me start a
single-player game or even create my own scenario. When it gets back to
the Windows screen, it suggests a "solution" for why it wouldn't run,
which was to try the Compatibility Pack. Tried it. Still didn't run.
Tried disabling the INVIDIA display adapter. Still didn't run. Tried
installing DirectX9. Still didn't run. Am I doing something wrong??
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I don't think it's an issue with
the display driver, but I could be wrong.

Please help. I just want to play the game I purchased. Have Vista
Ultimate, plenty of memory and speed. ATI Radeon Xpress 1150. All my
drivers are up to date. The Direct X is up to date. Alt/Tab-ing used to
work but no longer does. Its all "toxic waste grass" all the time now.

I have Alt Tabbed
I have switched from 16 to 32 bit
I have run as Admin
I have run in compatibility mode for XP
I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice.
Basically I have tried everything I have read here and any other forum
I could find, and nothing as worked. Obviously this is what I get for
buying a game that wasn't designed for *edit* Vista. After I bought it,
I read this was a common problem and MS was not going to release a patch
for it, but has anyone ever come up with anything? Any help would be
appreciated.

For those of you who are having problems with the game no starting, try
this.

If you can make it to the menu screen, go into the options.

Change the screen size to the one in the middle,
I believe it is 1024 x 768.

This will probably work.

I believe the problems cames from the newer monitor sizes.

Let me know if this works, took me 2 months to figure this out.
