this game still doesnt want to work on my system,
i have downloaded and installed this codec, and still keep getting the same error. ive had this problem since the beta 2 release of vista. details of error are below..... the fraunhofer iis mpeg layer 3 codec (13codecx.ax) can not be found on this computer. it is a required component of microsoft directshoow, and is required for proper sound playback in age of empires 3. please quit out and reinstall this codec befor continuing. if you choose to continue, an alternative audio coodec may be used which may cause problems including choppy sound, missing sound, delayed sound and possible game crashes. 3 gig p4 865 pearl mother board 80 gig hard drive 1 gig ram nvidia 5x5200 audigy card |

Hmm, i've never installed AOE3 on vista because people kept telling me it didnt work with RC1 and I just thought if i wanted to play it until Vista was released i would just swap back to Xp every so often to have a game. But if it works... here i come |

I am running AOE on Vista RTM, and got the codec error you got, I just
ignred it, hit OK, then the game ran just fine. I have an ASUS motherboard with integrated sound, maybe you need to upgrade your sound card.
