AOE III error message "initialization failed".

I'm trying to run some AOE III and its expansion pack two games that successfully installed after downloading from GameStop. but none of them will not open.  I get the error message 'failed to initialize. "

Just before it fails, I get a message from Windows saying that the color scheme has been temporarily changed to Windows Basic, citing the identifier of the process PID 6128 (whatever that means).

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on a Compaq Presario CQ56.  Can anyone help?

Thank you, Andrew

    For weeks, I receive the error message "download failed. Network failure. "for a particular item in a folio. I looked for answers to what it means, and I have not found information that helped identify the reason why this error continues to display.

    Article is most of the features-heavy in this folio, but only with buttons that change state of the multi-state objects and I have now re-created from scratch 6 times - this last time, that I've updated what he producer Folio every time I place an image, whenever I have apply a button or a multi-state object It was quite tedious.

    Today, it has been updated every hour until I apply a hyperlink to text and download failed. Whenever I met this error message, was after something different, there is no common action or point where the update fails.

    It became very frustrating because I have trouble shooted as much as I can, and my client is also frustrated that this keeps not carry out the project.

    Is it possible for one of your support team please take a look at the article and let me know if something escapes me?

    I'm pretty desperate at this point, it would be really grateful for the help.

    Thanks in advance.

    This means that the network didn't :-) No seriously, it happens all the time, just keep clicking on 'Retry' which will continue the download without having to start

    Are you really sure that you can connect to shared services, if the service is in place it does not always mean that hss is fully executed, for example, there could be a problem in communicating with the relational repository.

  • Print the error message "Filter failed" from lightroom 4

    On a Mac OS X 10.11.6 I try to print an Epson R3000 in lightroom 4, I get an error message "filter has failed." This started after I installed an epson P800, which works very well. I was wondering if lightroom has a problem when two epson is installed. The R3000 prints of other applications, just can't print photos of LR 4. Ask yourself if this problem would exist even if upgraded to LR 6? Impossible to get someone at Adobe talk to me on the phone re LR 4.

    Hi KathyBess,

    This problem is related to the printer itself. Please see 'Filter' failed error when printing Epson | Apple official support communities

    Contact the manufacturer of the printer.

  • How to retrieve error messages after failed call Web service or pl/sql

    Hi all

    The EBS version: 12.1.1 on windows 2008 server.

    I'm calling pl/sqls via the ISG (process_item, process_eco...). If a call fails due to wrong input parameters, it returns an 'E' to me according to the Statute, a count of the number of error messages were collected, but no message itself? Is there an extra function call to get the error messages? I found FND_MESSAGE-GET but it does not return me anything!

    Thank you
