Age of Empire 1 and 2 do not work on P100-350
I can't run Age Of Empire I or II on a P100-350 under Win XP.
AOE I works only at 640 x 480.
AOE II does not at all. I get a message about directX has not loaded.
Someone has already experienced this problem?
I have exactly the same problem (on a Satellite P100-6198) with the same games under WinXP Media Center: it is said that DirectDraw is not taken in charge while DirectDraw tests are quite normal... There is obviously a problem. Someone please unlock us because my father-in-law bought a Toshiba too under my guidance and his favorite Albums game is Age of Empires 2, he is VERY FRUSTRATED not being able to play!

I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
Hello
I have age of empires 3 and I can not start the program.
The program is installed, but once the autorun.exe appears (with the icons of the game, uninstall, website, out) I click on play and the game does not just start. My computing needs are fairly good for the game because I used to play the game on the same computer later.Thanks for your help

Bink is what plays the scenes cut in many games.
Installation folder of AOE 3 the binkw32.dll should be in games.
If it is then it is may be damaged and reinstall the game normally would set the
problem.AutoPatcher.exe - I do not know because I never use auto-patchers with games.
I have always to download the patch and install manually.
However, my game has the RockallDLL.dll file.I don't really know a good site to lead you to these files.
You can find a binkw32.dll in another game. Try doing a search of
Program Files (x 86) (or another location if you install games to the default locations). If you have the file in another game you can copy into your AOE3
folder of the master installation.There was a lot of discussion on these forums about AOE3 so a
search of these forums may find another suggestion.

I'm trying to play age of Empires 3 on my computer running windows vista Home premium and the program does not start. I get the error message: "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\d3dx9_25.dll is not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error." I tried many suggestions from Microsoft (resettlement program, reinstall in safe mode, update & reinstall the drivers for my video card, the compatibility issues with vista, updating and reinstalling directx 9.0 c, install vista service packs 1 & 2) but nothing has worked so far. I was able to play the game on the same computer with windows xp installed (it's a different hard drive that is not in the computer, and everything is the same) and it worked fine. My computer is old enough, but like I said the game worked before installing vista. ASUS A7N8x deluxe, AMD Athlon xp 3200 +, ATI radeon 9600, 2 GB OCZ ram that all suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
Hi Raygun55,
Welcome to Microsoft Vista answers Forum!
This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.
I suggest that you copy the file manually by following the steps and check if you are able to play the game without any problems:
Manually copy the file
To do this on a computer that is running Windows Vista, follow these steps:
1 insert the disc 1 CD for one of the following games into the player from the computer:
o Age of Empires III
o Fable: The Lost Chapters
o Zoo Tycoon 2
o Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends
2. click on start to reduce this includes this image and then click Documents.
3. Locate, and then click computer.
4. search and then click on the CD drive.
5. Locate and then click the following folder:
CD player :\ DirectX9
Note In this folder path, the CD player represents the drive letter of the CD drive.
6 double-click on Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x86.cab, right click on d3dx9_25.dlland then click copy.
In Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends, double click Aug2005_d3dx9_27_x64.cab right-click d3dx9_27.dlland then click copy.
Note Use the Apr2005_d3dx9_25_x64.cab file for the x 64 version of the Windows operating system.
7. find one or more of the following folders, depending on the games that are installed on the computer:
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft: Age of Empires III
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Zoo Tycoon 2
By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Rise of legends
Note In these folder paths, drive represents the letter of the drive where the game is installed.
8. right click on the folder of the game which is the part that is installed on the computer, and then click Paste.
Note If you have installed more than one game on the computer, repeat steps 5 and 6 for the other games.
You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813
Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.
Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.
Let me know if it worked.
Thank you, and in what concerns:

Hi, I bought a the United States iphone6, im now in South Africa and it will not work. It says sim not supported.how do I fix this?
The SIM card is not support indicates that the iPhone is locked to the American carrier that it has been activated with. In order to obtain the released lock it is necessary that you talk to the carrier to find out what their requirements are to release the lock. They are the only ones who unlock it so that it can be used with another carrier.

I'm on windows 7 and I've upgraded to the latest version of firefox, and now it will not open. I completely deleted firefox and transferred again, and it does not work. Then, I was that he could get through my firewall, and that has not worked. So my last attempt, I removed firefox 10 again and downloaded the beta version hoping that would make it and once again, nothing. It opens at all. Please help - y at - it a live chat or a number to speak to someone at Firefox?
-Microsoft got a big update last night for the Windows 7 and I came this morning I was wondering if the update would help my FireFox. I thought it might because a lot of things in this forum said it was a security problem and they have been updated with security updates. SHAZAM! Firefox is now the new my browser to goto. Very happy to resume. Once more I did anything this morning, but click the icon after the big windows 7 update and we're back in business. Thanks for all your help!

The date and time does not work.
I have an iphone 5 c.
The date and time does not work. This is the second time. The first time was about 3 to 4 months again and now again after upgrade to iOs9.3.1.
Even after trying to change it manually, time slows down or stops.
Everyone has problems with their date and time?
- Try a forced reboot: hold down the House and on the buttons until the unit turns off. Ignore the cursor off if it appears. Once completed, if it does not start on it own, turn off power with the key On. In some cases, it also contributes to double click the Home button and close all applications before restarting.
- Restore factory settings (no backup)
- Make an appointment at your local Apple store to have it checked.

pages started freezing, force to quit and restart does not work
Try to do the homework, no good with computers. I used screen split pages with safari, then I'll click to pages and the cursor does not blink, and I can ty click on something, but nothing helped. I even try to click in Safari and who does not work either. I have to then press the task or what you call it, force quit applications, then restart. It started just randomly and really annoying, see I need to deal with all my classes AP. Pages for this when alone as well.
Hello ElliottRadovan,
I understand that the Pages and Safari sometimes appear to hang when switching between the two. Fortunately we have some articles that detail how to identify and correct the source of the problem, restore stability to your Mac.

Have you tried a forced reboot? Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything.
