age of empires will not work

I bought age of empires 3 for my laptop, but when I go there to play, it opens and closes. You can hear the noise, but the game reduced to a minimum. and then a little pop up comes up saying 'the optical resolution notification '. This happened to me before when I got it and he did every game but now does so only at the games disk, but I corrected, but I don't remember what I did. Please help thanks

Hello sandberg94,

Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers forum.  I suggest you check that games support page for an update patch.  I also suggest make you the site of the factory, download and install the latest drivers for your video card.

Thank you for using answers Forum. Please let us know how it works.

    I played AoE II forever, but for the last six months have not been able to play on my Toshiba laptop that is running Windows 7.  Any other information required I can give you if you ask.

    My system meets the minimum requirements

    Compatibility mode does not work for any earlier version of Windows selected.

    I updated DirectX in all possible ways.

    I downloaded the patch aoe2.

    The game still does not work.

    Now, I know very little of video cards, but I know that my father has the same laptop and the game runs very well on her.

    I tried to open it with 256 colours and 800 x 600 resolution

    I tried to disable my graphics card and got the same message.

    DirectX says that DirectDraw is activated.

    It should be out once (I don't know how or why) I had the game starts.  about six months and I did nothing different from normal.  It has not started again since. But it means that I know that it is able to work on this machine.

    Also, I never had this error until recently; before it would just go to a black screen until I ctl + alt + delete my way out of it.

    I am begging you people at Microsoft to figure this out for me, to find a way to get rid of this error message...

  • 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?

    Some people report no AoE problem running on Windows 7.

    Some people report that the use of "Compatibility Mode" works.

    If you have Windows 7 Pro, 'XP Mode' (free from Microsoft) can work.  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/install-and-use-Windows-XP-mode-in-Windows-7

  • Dark Age Of Camelot will not work with windows 7?

    IM referring to the most recent extension, LOM.

    Hello

    Although each game developed for Vista should also be compatible with Win 7. If this isn't the case, you can try the Vista Compatibility Mode.
    Same F.E.A.R. (2006) which was "XP" only works great under Vista.

    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.

  • How can I recover my old firefox after I replaced it, it told me a new will not work?

    I was on my AOL Homepage and was encouraged to be upgraded for increased security. Everything went well, but when I tried to open Firefox, I learned it wouldn't work. Usually, with this older system, I am notified when an upgrade will not work. I would have never taken the lead and replaced my old if I knew. Is it possible to recover my old Firefox?

    There are apps that I have on this old system that does not work on newer systems. (I have an Airbook updated but I like the big screen for some things). I found this on Google:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/970943
    Mozilla
    September 11, 2013 - where can I find older versions of Firefox, which runs on OSX 10.5? ... because Firefox 16 is the latest version of Firefox that works with Mac...
    and downloaded Firefox 16 of their link. It seems to work. For security reasons, I use my Airbook for bill payment, etc.
    Thanks for your comments. Thank you very much for the quick responses.

  • IPad will not sync with iTunes on my laptop. Synchronization in iPpod settings will not work

    MY iPad will not sync with iTunes on my laptop, the sync on my iPad button will not work. I have the latest updates on both.

    I guess you mean that the sync button in iTunes, not on the iPad, will not work. If you are sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS (your profile shows 8.1) try quitting iTunes on the computer, restart the computer and force restart your iPad

    No data is lost during this procedure. Hold on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen.

    More information is needed.

    Which machine you use, OS X are you running?

    Windows 7 running in BootCamp?

    The OS X app store is not present at all?

    AppStore is present but the update tab does not?

  • How to import bookmarks multi-level IE 8 FireFox 17 if IE 8 is broken, cannot re - install and will not work?

    IE 8 is still installed, but will not work. I can not install any version of IE - I tried. I can import only first level bookmarks. Solutions in the forum assume IE 8 work.

    If you have problems with importing IE bookmarks in Firefox, then export favorites in Internet Explorer to a HTML file and import this file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.

    If you don't have the menu bar in Internet Explorer, and then right-click on the toolbar above to activate the menu bar.

    • Export Favorites in Internet Explorer to a file (bookmarks.html) HTML:
      File > import and export
    • Import HTML file in Firefox:
      Bookmarks > show all bookmarks > import and backup > import bookmarks HTML: file

  • Telstra Australia tell me that I have to use Chrome, as their facilities will not work with Firefox. Why?

    After spending literally hours trying to pay an account on Telstra Australia (that I just joined them, so it's the first installment), I finally gave up and contacted directly. I was told that Telstra services will not work with Firefox and that their preferred system is Google Chrome but Internet Explorer will not work.
    I have used Firefox for a long time and I'm happy with the program. Specifically, I have everything set up to work with Firefox and do not want to change. At the same time, I want to have the convenience of paying bills online.
    Can I load up, Google say, just one thing, or the program will then try to "catch" other functions as well?

    Yes, you can install Chrome and use it for a website. "Recovery" Chrome as other functions on your PC, just don't let it not be defined as "browser default" If you are prompted during the installation procedure. In addition, I doubt if you'll have a problem.

    Install OSX 10.11.4 I do cleaning but R command will not work. With the help of USB keyboard so not wifi issues to to worry. Help?

    Would you like to share why you must do a clean install?

    You can try the recovery of the internet (which will work if your older model has been updated to enable of): hold command + Option + R until you see a progress bar (take a while). It will connect you to the Apple servers. When you see the utility window, choose disk utility to erase your disk and when you're done, choose to reinstall OS X.

    Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

    PS: Correction: I think not yours can be updated; in this case, you will need the original installation disks to wipe the drive and reinstall.
