How can I get Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors expansion to work on Windows 7?
When I try to run the game, the screen goes black, then a window pops up saying that the program does not work. I can play Age of Empires 2, but not the extension, it is meaningless to me. Please help if you know how to solve this problem.
Hi Cat101,
Age of Empires 2: The Conquerors expansion is not listed in the Windows 7 Compatibility Center. You can check the link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Search.aspx?type=Software&s=Age%20of%20Empires%20II%3a%20The%20Conquerors%20expansion
As a work around trying to run the game in compatibility mode and check if that helps. Link: make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

How can I install Age of Empires 3 (for XP) on my laptop using Windows 7?
I was SO excited to finally get a laptop (Asus K series) game with a quality graphics card, a serious upgrade from my old Dell Inspiron. I was disappointed, however, after discovering the lack of compatibility and therefore the obstacle to play, with Age of Empires 3 fantastic games. I would really like to play the game as it was meant to be played, but I have no idea how to install it.
Is there a compatibility program I can run, or a shortcut through it all?
Thank you!

I found this on the forums of AoE, it seems reasonable:
When you install the game on Windows 7 won't allow the CD autoplay but rather explore and click on setup.exe, and select 'run as administrator '. After that the game installs explore the directory of Age of Empires and find the application, create a shortcut for it and in the properties of the shortcut, check both boxes "Run as Administrator" and set the compatibility "Windows XP, Service Pack 3.

I want to play the old game on my current computer (which extends from Vista). The installation went well, until 100% is reached. A screen will appear that reads 'Updating System Settings'. Any thoughts?
Hello
Follow these steps:
Step 1:
I suggest you to check if the game is compatible with Windows Vista.

How can I get my scanner to scan the original documents identical?
Hello
I just install the printer/scanner (series HP photosmart premium C310 / CN503-64001). I did 2 tests. On the 2nd scan the sides intersect. I repeated the analysis a few times, but the problem remains. On the touch screen, it shows the document correctly. I had the scan open preview (I use a Macbook Pro, Mac Os version 10.6.8).
How can I get my scanner to scan the same original documents?
Thank you for helping me!
Birgit
Hello, Birgit
How the printer is connected to the computer? You mention the touch screen are you scan from the front of the printer? What happens if you try to scan from the HP software?
In Mac OS X scan with the HP software
Also could you check which printer you are using? Photosmart C310 is the series and I couldn't find a printer with the CN503 64001. Usually, the model number on Photosmarts are located under the lid of the printer where the ink cartridges are. Help, find the follow-up model number below.

My screen suddenly upside down. How can I get that back right to the top?
My screen suddenly upside down. How can I get that back right to the top?
High graphics most of range, the cards are equipped with display rotation built in and adjustable via display properties or via the display properties of the display icon in the Notification area (to the left of the system clock). It is a nice feature if you want to read things more like a book on your laptop, etc.
Some examples would be ATI, NVIDIA, Intel, Matrox, S3, XGI... These adapters can be integrated into your system, and not always his own card.
This phenomenon of rotation screen sometimes inadvertently some keystrokes (the cat walked on my keyboard).
Pressing on the keys Ctrl-Alt top/arrow down arrow rotates screen 90 degrees at a time for some graphics (like NVIDIA) cards
If this does not work, we will need to know your system brand and model and see if we can look at the rotating screen for you shortcut keys.
Do, or do not. There is no test.
