Re: Problem with Age of Empires II


Has anyone found the solution yet ?!
I was able to play the game fine on a low spec win98 PC with a simple
Riva TNT 64 (does any one remember these??) and unable to do so on my
much higher spec winXP laptop with an ATI X1400 ...

really frustrating

Age of nations, AoE III and the rest are all ok ...
Just AoE II doesn't work ...

You bet I have directDraw!!
(dxdiag performed wonderfully!)

I even tried the stupid suggestions in MS Knowledge base ... of course
they didn't work ...

any help is appreciated ... i really miss this game!

What the dickens are you on about??? You've snipped out all the history of

What to do? For a start, tell us WHAT the problem is! "The same problem as
everyone" is, you'll have to admit, rather all-encompassing....
