Age of Empires II The Conquerors unable to run on windows 7
I have the Age of Emipres II The Conquerors...Microsoft game...have had it through Windows 95, 2000 and XP...but in XP I was not able to run it often because it would shut itself down after getting the first screen up...before you can in put any choices for gaming. I thought maybe it was my computer (it had some other issues) so bought another computer with Windows 7 and tried to install...it did... but I will not run...gets to the same screen and ...just shuts down.... I want to play it...even with purple water.... What can I do to get it to run? ( I have Age of Empires II and Age of Empires II The Conquerors.)

bfremd - Well.... That game IS fairly old. Microsoft's website says it needs Windows 95, 98 or NT 4 with SP 5 installed for this to work. Have you tried compatability mode to see if it will run? EDIT: I downloaded the trial/demo version of AOE II from the MS site - and installed it. After rebooting, it worked fine. Got through the first demo campaign - teaching the men to march and fight. Granted, it's not the same as the full version - but you might want to make sure you've got ALL of the relevant patches installed on top of the base game.
