LAN Age of Empires
I just installed Vista. AOE runs fine, but won't recognize the multiplayer
game on the XP. XP can't find the multiplayer game if I start it on Vista. 3rd computer on LAN running XP works fine with other XP computer. Any suggestions?

If not, you need to do so.

LAN Age of Empires
Thanks for the help. That got them connected. However, the game works on both
computers individually, but when I conect the Vista to the XP it keeps hanging up for a few seconds at a time. Any suggestions on that? "Malke" wrote: KYMailman wrote: I just installed Vista.

Any suggestions on that? Since no one here plays that game, I can't answer your question. I would suggest posting to 1) the microsoft games newsgroup (see below); 2) any forums available for the game (Google for them); 3) looking on the game's tech support site for known issues, patches, workarounds, etc. http://aumha.org/nntp.htm - list of MS newsgroups Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!"
