age of empires

age of empires is available for any game system or only for pc?

There was a version of Age of Empires 2, released on PS2, and there was one on the Nintendo DS, if my recollection is correct, and also a Windows Mobile releases.

  • Re: Tecra M2 - age of empires II - all features?

    Hello

    I have a microsoft, called «the age of empire II» game
    Everything works fine, but some features are 'out '.

    For military units, I don't have the choice of attitudes (position, defence, attack...) I do not see the 'icons', and the shortcuts don't work.

    I have XP spec3 of the window and I loaded the latest Direct X.

    For the verification of my own game, I loaded a trial version of microsoft, and I have the same problem.

    I also have a very old Toshiba satellite pro, and on this "old" everything works!

    Do you know if Microsoft has a forum on this kind of problem?

    Thank you

    Hi mohamed

    Well, you should has a P4 2.5 GHz processor with 1024 MB of RAM to play this game, but if you want optimal performance of the game, you must use a 3 GHz 1024 MB Ram PC with the graphics card performance.
    Also, check if you have installed the latest DirectX tools with the latest graphics driver. In addition it s advisable to check for some patches for this game.

    Hello

    Your laptop supports Mobile Intel Express Chipset graphics card 945GM.

    This graphics card is not designed for a game!
    It s a shared memory graphics card and if it s needed, it takes the memory of main memory.

    Graphics memory depends on the value of the main memory.
    A higher value of main memory would allow greater value of graphics card memory.

    But as I said above it s not a graphics of game and you shouldn't t wonder on game performance.

  • Satellite A200 start Age of Empires

    Hello world

    My daughter has a Sat A200 1.8 GHz 3052 available RAM, installed Direct X 10, more older version 9 to run older games. Under Vista Home Premium with an ATI Radeon Graphics Processor 0 chip x 9581 (Mobility Radeon HD) 2600.

    I get an error at the launch of Age of Empires II and I have the chart cannot initialize and check the compatibility of card and the video driver with Direct Draw.

    I did, Direct sampling is enabled, the ATI driver has been updated, windows also updates and the game still gives me the same message.

    Do you have a registry clean after using the game of the demo, which also did not work.

    I got this game on two other laptops, a new Compaq and a 12 months, as well as old Acer laptop on my fully equipped acer desktop computer to vista. The only problem I have is with the Compaq laptop screen resolution should be set back to normal after the games, but it works very well. I don't know why the Toshiba Satellite is to give so much trouble.

    Can someone enlighten me? Please...

    Hello

    > the ATI driver has been updated
    And what ATI drivers you have installed exactly? Since the site of Toshiba or other drivers?

    AFAIK for Age of Empires II are some fixes available. Have you installed them? As far as I know you can download on the Microsoft Web site.

    You can also try starting the game in compatibility mode. That's why I choose Windows XP.

  • Satellite P100: View the problem of driver on installation of Age of Empires

    Hello

    I would like to know if there is a solution to the following problem:
    a / inability to implement "Age of Empire": during installation, the system displays the following message:
    Failed to initialize your videocard check if your driver is compatible with direct sampling.

    b / inability to put in place the latest version of the driver downloaded from NVIDIA (91.28_forceware_winxp2k_international.exe) site

    Hello

    I would also try to first install the latest version of the directX application. I think the latest version is 9 c.
    In addition, I would like to say a few words on the graphics drivers. The fact is that driver graphic Toshiba are not similar with the original graphics drivers from the card making. The graphics driver Toshiba supports protection against overheating, because the laptop card has no clean cooling module. The pilot controls the performance of the graphics card and decreases performance and speed if the temperature rises to a higher level.
    In this case, it s advisable to use only the drivers of Toshiba, because other drivers can damage the card.

  • 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 a Satellite A200-1dn with 1.5 GB of ram and an intel gma 950 / 945gm express chipset family.
    The problem is that the age of empires 3 requires a minimum of 64 MB of video ram. Mine is 32 MB.
    I've heard from the dvmt (dynamic video memory technology) and I was wondering is anyone know how to change it to the max?
    I heard that you can change CMOS, anyone know how to acess cmos? My bios version is 1.30. max dvmt may go up to 224 MB of video ram, that would be great.

    Please answer soon, thx

    Hello

    Generally, a user must read the MANUAL before asking these questions. But while you already here I can tell you how to access:

    Press F2 right after the power of the machine (when you see the toshiba logo) whereas there should be the option you want / need.

    Did you already check if you have the latest version of the bios installed? It would be a good idea to do so:

  • Age of Empires II - "can't initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw.

    Hello

    I have a problem of Age of Empires 2 running on my new computer. Keeps displaying the following error message: "cannot initialize the graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw. "Someone at - it solutions to this? I have already visited many forums and trying different solutions; None of them helped.

    Tried solutions: change the compatibility and as an administrator, switching to 16-bit color, turn off my graphics card, execution of the extension "nostartup" of the game, looking for old patches from Microsoft (which most are now unavailable due to the game being so old). I KNOW that others have been able to get this game to work on the Windows 7 operating system, but with a few other quirks and I KNOW my video card and driver are more than capable of handling this game. Any suggestions?

    System Specs:

    System manufacturer/model number Dell/Studio 540
    Operating system windows 7 home premium 32 bit
    6 GB of memory
    Graphics card ATI Radeon HD 4350
    Monitor (s) displays Reference Dell ST2410

    I had the above problem with AOEII:Age of the Kings. My brief spec is Windows 7 Ultimate edition (SP1) and a card nVidia 8600 GT. I did the following (make sure you reboot after each installation):

    Make sure that you are running the latest patch of AOEII:AOK (2. 0 a):

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=35

    Download and install the latest version of DirectX:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?ID=5264

    Download and install the latest nVidia Driver suite. I left the autodetect my card software and reset all my default settings. I also installed the full software suite:

    http://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    Finally, right click on the shortcut of AOE and click Properties. Click on the Compatibility tab and select the following:

    -Run this program in compatibility mode - choose Windows XP Service Pack 2 (!) NOT 3!)
    -Disable visual themes
    -Disable the Composition of the Bureau
    -Run this program as an administrator

    One of the above options maybe work on its own, but that's what I had to do to make it work and I tested it after each step.

    Good luck!

    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:
