Hello,

Thank you for answer me, I have many time without solve this problem, sice I changed my ati radeon x1950 pro to my geforce 8800 gt.

1. Yes, that is my problem. ("Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw" error message when you start Age of Empires II), sometimes appear that message but other times starts the presentation of the game and then appear a black screen and when I move my mouse appear many diferent colors.

2. I can't extract the files directly to my game's directory (when i try to extract them directly appear a window telling me that is no permitted). so i had to extract them to my desktop and then i copied them to the games, should work??

The problem is still there.


I have a geforce 8800 gt, original windows vista and the game is also original.

Another thing when I disabled my geforce 8800 videocard and try with the card that was including in my pc it works. but I don't want to disable another time my card. so i want to fix this problem with your advice.

I already run the game as an admin.

Thank you.
