| | Problems with Age of Empire 3 and Vista Hi , can anyone help me with a problem i am having trying to make Age of Empires 3 play on my new vista premium computer. The game has worked perfectly well on my previous computer with windows XP. The game appears to load ok and actually goes through the video introduction with no problems but as soon as it gets to the screen where you select play options it shuts down and a meassage appears saying windows will try and find a solution. Any information or help will be very much appreciated. regards, frustarted baldeagle -- baldeagle Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

If it isn't already, set it to "Essential Windows Programs Only" NOTE: This cuased my Windows DVD Maker to stop working, so use with care. Search for DEP in the Help if you can't find it in Computer Properties. I hope this helps. |
