Hello capo811,

Step 1:

I suggest that you try to install the game in Windows XP compatibility mode and then follow these steps:

http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

Step 2:

Access the .exe file for the game and make sure that it is running in Compatibility Mode (Windows XP)

Step 3:

Install the Patch 1.14 softwarehttp://www.agecommunity.com/gameUpdates.aspx

If it still does not work, I suggest you run the game in Windows XP mode:

You can install XP mode on your computer if you have professional, Ultimate or Enterprise Windows editions. Here is a link you can follow and which will give you information about this:

  • Halo 2 installs on Windows 7 but doesn't start.

    Hello

    I'm running a Dell XPS 17 with Windows 7 Professional, a dual-core i7 2.7 ghz and a nVidia GT 550 m 1 GB graphics card. What happens is that I can install the game without problem but when I go to start the game, my mouse icon between busy then just go back to normal. I looked in my process in the Task Manager while you try to start it and halo2.exe would appear and then disappear just as if the process took end. I looked everywhere possible and saw several people with this problem, but no one seems to have a fix. Any help would be appreciated.

    Well, I've found a workaround. He has not been executed because when it is installed, I guess he thought that I had only the Intel 3000 gpu that has been integrated into the processor. So what I did is hooked up via HDMI to a monitor and then installed the game. HDMI only works off the coast of the nvidia card, so the integrated gpu has not yet come into play.

    I do not know which type of installation so you have this may or may not work.

  • age of empires III ERROR 1603 consult windows install help (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information

    I tried to install age of empire III on my computer windows 7, but I got an error until I had to even insert the key (ERROR 1603 consult windows help install (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information). I tried to enter in the files and run the setup.exe as an administrator, but it did not help.

    Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

    AoE3 is fully compatible with Win7 and I had no problem at the facility, but it may not be compatible with

    your graphics accelerator if it's an older 'integrated' graphics chip.

    (This should show a different kind of error message, but sometimes Windows spits a seemingly unrelated error message.)

    Try to post on AOE3 forums below. There may be someone who has had the problem with the installation of the game-

    Hello

    I had problems to install this game as well.
    The error occurred to me was that the program was not installed for all users.
    I found a solution to:
    1. go to computer > C: and the option to display hidden items.
    2. after a hidden folder named ProgramData will appear.
    3. then you should go ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > StartupMenu > programs.
    4. When you are in that folder you just create another folder named Microsoft Games.
    5. inside of this new folder, you create another one named Age of Empires III
    6. now just try to reinstall.
    It worked for me on Windows 8, I hope it helps someone.
  • Age Of Empires does not work on Windows 7

    I wanted to play age of Empires on my new laptop, but after I followed the steps to install, it won't let me run it because it is not compatible wit my version of windows (7). All I can do to fix this?

    What is the full text of the error message you get?

  • Acrobat Pro XI installed on Windows 7 but does not start

    I purchased a standalone version of Acrobat Pro XI and installed on my Windows 7 computer. The first time I try to run, I get a window asking me to check the serial number. The DDL for the product name does not list Acrobat Pro XI and it does not accept my serial number (even if I copy / pasted from the page of order on the adobe.com website). It is said that the serial number is valid, but that the product is not on the machine. And yet, when I browse to program files > Adobe > Acrobat, alto - it is.

    When I double-click on the exe file, I get the message, 'validation serial number', followed of "serial number is valid, but no product calling is not found...". »

  • SPORE on Windows 7 installs but doesn't start. Message says "Spore has stopped working".


    I recently bought the game spore original and installed on my compaq cq5320f. It installed correctly but when I try to run the game, the screen goes out for a second, then an error message box saying "spore has stopped working" it self closes and says windows is working on a solution and if it finds one, that he will let me know. the only option is to close the box.

    I tried everything, including a spoke with a representative from EA that had me do a start-up in minimal mode, of the United Nations and to reinstall and even suggested I buy a new video card: I did. I upgraded to the Radeon 4850.

    I am the only user on this computer and have had norton antivirus running on it every second because she was online. When I right click on the SPORE icon, it does not give my an option to run the previous version and the same error occurs when you try to run as an administrator (whose profile is already anyway).

    I am at a loss here. I know that's not the game, because I installed it on my laptop (running Vista) and it works fine.

    Please... help?

  • Age of Empires III is compatible with windows 7

    I looked at the site of windows compatibility, and he says AOE III is not compatible but he said AOE III Asian Dynasties and Rise of Rome are compatible. But you have to install AOE III first of all that the others are Add ons.

    Someone saw if AOE III or other games RSG as Rise of Nations, Age of Mythology, Rise of Legends are compatible with Windows 7.

    And where Devil can you buy these now? I can't find someone online. Would be great buy and download but I don't it anywhere to buy.

    cmschu,

    information and where to get them, see http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/ and follow the links to those that you are interested in. AOE III seems to be available on Amazon for example.

    Some of the games have demo versions available for download from the links and I already loaded 'Rise of Nations Thrones and Patriots' trial and that works OK on my netbook with W7 starter, for example.

    Im confused by the list of compatibility for AOE III - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?l=en-us&type=Software&s=age%20of%20empires%20iii&os=32-bit - W7 seems depends on what version you have.
