Hi just a quick question. i have instaled age of empires three on my laptop and pc,
surprise surprise the game instals ok and then it gives me the option to play game, ok fair enouth my laptop wont run game, and i quote it Even tells me straight from the off that my video card needs to be 64mg when i have 32mg, so this is fine i no what the problem is, however with the pc the game instals just like before, and when i get actually into the game believing i have overcome obsticles i go to
campaign mode. know this is my problem i have sound no problem i have main menu of game no problem, but when it goes on to the map of the campaign i have lines going across my screen forever moving so this prevents me from playing. now does this mean that my graphics card or video card is damaged or is this because it is not compatible.

And are the graphic card and video card the same thing as i get the impresion thay are different. also this will be a very basic rocky question but if something is incompatible does that mean without a doult that it just cannot be run on windows vista, or can patches resolve this.

ps please can someone answer these questions otherwise i will never understand this issues.

I think the post is alright. After all, we only have to understand it, not necessarily like it. I think it is fine. AoE works fine for me. I shall come back and answer your other questions, and try to solve your Loading Issue soon.

Thanks!

There is a vista patch. Just search "age of empires 3 vista patch" on google. I think its on the AoE 3 website.
