Graphics problems during the game Age of Empire II in mode full screen in Windows 7

Original title: screen resolution and/or graphics problem with Windows 7.

Hi, I had currently two computers in my house upgraded to windows 7, one a Vista XP.

I am trying to run Age Of Empires 2 on both computers, the game has installed and running with ease, however it won't let you play the game in full screen, and also the color of things like grass and trees appear in red and orange, water displays brilliant purple.

I tried to change the windows screen resolution and the resolution of the options in the game, but it only changes in the percentage of the screen resolution, that he chooses to play in.

I can solve this? All advice is appreciated and thanks in advance.

PS I tried to reinstall and update graphic drivers, both computers have the same problem of new clean installations of windows and Age of Empires 2.

Thank you

It is a problem due to the fact that AOE 2 was built on the platform Windows 95/98 Win9x. It will expose a few graphical artifacts while playing. You can try setting compatibility Win98 or Win95 check. There is also a workaround that may work in my opinion. You will need to search for "how to run StarCraft (1) on Windows 7" in Bing (Alternatively, Google: P) and it would show a site with a .bat file that could solve the problem of graphics in fullscreen.

I hope this helps.

What I did with StarCraft was this:

On the desktop, right-click and select new text Document. Inside the Document, type this

Taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
D:\"StarCraft"\"StarCraft.exe".
Start explorer.exe

Just replace the location of StarCraft with the location of the AOE II.

Save the file as: 'AOEII.bat' and then set the file type to the text file to all files.

What happens is that if corrects the discoloration and restart the explorer again after the end of the game. Although there is no easy way to change the icon of the good bat file: P

    Hi Girish,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    According to the description of the problem, it seems that you are having problems with the game Age Of Empires II, you receive an error message "AppCrash.exe". I'll help you fix the problem.

    (1) what version of the game is installed on your computer?

    (2) did the problem started recently?

    (3) have you made changes on the computer before this problem?

    Step 1: Let me inform you that the game is not compatible with Windows 7.

    You can check the link below:

    http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/win7/CompatCenter/ProductViewerWithDefaultFilters?TempOsid=win7&Locale=en-us&TextSearch=Age%2Bof%2BEmpire%2BII&Type=Both&CurrentPage=0&TotalPages=1&ShowCriteria=0&SortCriteria=Relevance&Compatibility=Unknown&LastRequested=14

    Step 2: If the version of Age of Empires II is not compatible, I suggest to install the program under Windows XP service pack 2 compatibility mode and check if that helps.

  • How to run a game in windows instead of the mode mode full screen in Windows 7?

    I can't even my game (Diablo II) to run, unless I put in the properties to run as administrater.  Even with Vista.

    You set the mode in the game options. Each game is different, but usually go to options-> video-> run in windowed mode is generally acceptable way to find. Also, the current older games to run in administrator mode is not something new. Who should almost for older games to install or run correctly.

    Some games do not have this option, some are not at stake, some you have to do by using a shortcut with parameter - window like: C:\Program files\blizzard\diablo\diablo.exe-fenetre or something.

    Good luck.

  • How can I get THE Office to enter the mode full screen on Windows RT?

    I have a Microsoft Surface. In the desktop version of IE, how can I do switch to full screen mode? I have to do this on other versions of Windows by enabling / disabling simply with the F11 key, but the touchcover keyboard does not function keys on the top, and not the on screen keyboard.

    Please see the list of shortcuts here:

    http://www.microsoft.com/Surface/en-US/support/surface-with-windows-RT/hardware-and-drivers/touch-cover-typing .

    FN + PageUp = F11 , then you can try this. I do not have a Surface so I can't confirm if it works. Worth a try if.

  • The mouse cursor disappears when iTunes movie go full screen

    This isn't a question... actually I found a hack solution to this bug and I wanted to share it with other people having the same problem.

    Since the upgrade of the OS X El Capitan, I'm having a problem with my cursor disappears randomly. It is very repetitive if I start a video in iTunes with the enlarged screen and the cursor disappears. Indeed, after entering mode full-screen, iTunes mask the cursor of the mouse that is predictable. The problem is that iTunes may not reappear there again once, for example, when I go to another office for a temporary job.

    Move the mouse does nothing, escaping mode full screen does not come back. It is very annoying. Like I had never had such a frustrating experience prior to a new installation of El Capitan 10.11.3 and update iTunes to 12.3.3, I thought that this is due to the update to iTunes. So, I made another new facility of El Capitan, this time without updating iTunes. But the problem still exists. It is interesting that I had this problem on my MacBook Pro 17 "end 2011 and not with my iMac 21.5" mid-2009!

    After a little research, I found that this bug is not because of El Capitan, and happened randomly in the other years dating back to Tiger and maybe before.

    Only new change I had made in my MBP Preferences system , was in the part of accessibility, and it was related to Zoom. I had always used this feature, but I put the Zoom Style 'full-screen'. This time (after the new installation of El Capitan), I had changed to 'Picture-in-Picture'.

    I changed the Style of zoom "full screen" even once, and the problem resolved.

    If this does not work for you, can be debilitating, other options, such as 'Use keyboard shortcuts to zoom' or 'Use of scrolling with keys of change to zoom movements,' can solve the problem.

    We all know that it is a bug, and he has been there for a long time. I found that many people had reported it to Apple, but the problem persists.

    For those of you who want to use the zoom "Picture-in-Picture" style, or set the zoom style full screen does not solve the problem of their mouse disappears, I will mention a few ways to recover the mouse cursor. The following solutions are applied to a mouse cursor disappeared after entering the movie to iTunes (or any other application) full screen.

    1. Move the mouse until the switching Office brings back the cursor. Now, you can switch the desktop computer and do whatever you want. (It's easier work, at least for me).
    2. Use Alt - Tab to switch to another program; This will bring the mouse cursor.
    3. Press Ctrl + F2 to activate the Apple menu. (You can also move your cursor away to top left and click to activate the menu.)
    4. Press Ctrl + up arrow (or swipe up with 4 fingers on the touchpad) to activate the control of the Mission.

    You can also find other ways to retrieve the cursor of your mouse.

    Hope this can help you with the mouse pointer disappears.

    In MBP El Capitan the pointer of the mouse is where you assign to ' picture in picture ' or 'full screen '.

    If you miss your mouse pointer, accessibility-> display "Shake mouse to locate" check to find your mouse pointer. It should be there.

    Note: you have posted in the discussion of the Mavericks, should have used the ElCapitan discussion...

  • No alt key access to menus in the top in mode full screen Ps CS5 Ext?

    I use the trial version of CS5 on a Win7 machine, after using Ps CS3 for a good amount of time.  When you paint in Ps, I almost always mode full screen.  In CS3, you might be full screen mode and press that the alt key and the current letter to a top bar, like F for file or T to filter or W for Window and the menu that appears, and you could hit subsequent letters active to get the associated function.  I used alt + I, then E and H to return the canvas horizontally.  Super fast and awesome!  Now the E was changed to a G, but no matter.  The big problem is in mode full screen, this no longer works!  I just get an error sound when I hit alt and press together. I have to type tab to bring up the menus and palettes until I use the alt + feature letter in the top menu.

    Is this an oversight, or is there functionality to the deactivation of this use of the hotkey mode full screen?

    Any ideas?  If I put this in the forum feature request?

    Thank you!

    DB

    Hmmmm...

    NOT in full screen, the people on this forum sometimes complain that the Alt modifier key is activate menus and the following operations for which they use Alt the original (for example, to zoom out) for itchy trigger windows "ding" sound.

    ESPECIALLY full screen that is not the case with CS5 because the Alt key is not simply activate the menus.

    Interesting idea...

    Maybe Adobe does work that way on purpose so that they could say to people complaining about the first question to run Photoshop in mode full-screen.  It's just a guess.

    As a solution to your problem, you could of course expand the Photoshop window to be very close to the size of the screen and just keep running like a window, rather than using the mode full screen at all.  Yes, I know that this is not a solution, but only a possible workaround until such time (if ever) Adobe bypasses to fix the modifier keys to work properly (again).  I chose to use Photoshop it myself and other than wasting a bit of the screen it seems to be a pretty decent workaround for the use of the space F mode.

    Funny, is that it seems that adobe had the modifier keys about works in Photoshop CS4.  I wonder why they changed.

  • Age of Empires 3 does not start on a vista machine, get this error "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'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!

    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 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 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.
