What kind of computer? speed? ram? video card? audio card? etc.

Vista, new OS... Old Game, not developed on new OS... yeah, problems. Check
for updates for your drivers, and update for the game and see if the game
maker has any comments on Vista Support.

Good luck.

Hi! I'm looking for the same thing as you (Age of Mythology) Did you found
something? I'd be definitely happy if you were to mail me the solution if one
day you find one...
thanks, Nick
