Age of Empires II on Windows Vista

04-26-2008

I am attempting to play Age of Empires on Windows Vista. I can load and play
the game, but sometimes (Almost always) the entire computer will freeze. I
cannot even get back to my desktop using key strokes. I have to hold down
the power button to shut the computer down. WHen I re-boot the computer the
screen resolution is all messed up because it is still set to the low AOE II
screen resolution settings. Is there anything I can do to stop making the
computer freeze?

Install DX9.0c and the most recent drivers for your video card. It sounds
like it may be an issue with drivers.
