  • Difficulties to install Age of Empires III, help please?

    I try to install Age of Empires III on my laptop HP G62 under Windows 7 Home Premium, but it keeps stuck a blob in to C:\Program Files (x 86) \Microsoft Games\Age of Empires III\art\art3.bar

    Does anyone else have this problem? How can I solve this problem? I really don't want to have to buy another copy of the game.
    Thank you
    Tristan

    There should be no problem install AOE3 without using the compatibility settings.
    Worked for me on Win7 64 bit.

    If she remains stuck at the same point is could be a disk failure. You can try to copy the contents of the disc to a folder on your desktop and install from there. If the files do not complete the copy on the desktop of the disc is probably wrong.

    I do not install all the games in the default location - Program Files (x 86), for several reasons.
    I used separate partition or HARD drive, but a new folder in the c: / drive is good enough. Name it what you like. You can install all your games in subfolders within that.

    Do you have other games that are installed with the specifications of the similar system of the same vintage (2005)? It is possible that the game ends to install if it does not recognize the Intel HD integrated graphics card.

  • 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!

    This problem may occur if the Microsoft DirectX file that is mentioned in the error message is damaged or is not copied correctly.

    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 Age of Empires III

    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: Age of Empires III

    By car : \Program Files\Microsoft Games\Fable - The Lost Chapters

    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.

    You can check the link for more information: error message when you try to start a Microsoft game: "the file d3dx9_XX. DLL was not found": http://support.microsoft.com/kb/910813

    Alternatively, you can try to install the game in XP compatibility mode and check if you are able to play or not.

    Right-click on the game > click Properties > click on the Compatibility tab > select for XP compatibility mode > click OK.

    Let me know if it worked.

  • Whenever I try to install Age of Empires III I get error 1305... help!

    Whenever I try to install Age of Empires III, I get error 1305 says "error 1305 reading the file. What I'm doing. This game was not cheap I just installed a new game if it's not my drive. I have 400 GB free, so I have all the space in the world. Finally, he worked on my old pc. I need help, and I'm very crazy. Help, please.

    Hey AnthonyMac,

    Consider the weather there is no scratches on the disc, clean the program CD-ROM or DVD. To do this, use a CD-ROM cleaning kit, or gently wipe the silver part of the CD-ROM with a cotton cloth soft and lint from the center of the round trip of the CD-ROM.

    If you still have the difficluties installing this, try to copy from the landfill, which is all the files which are there on the CD and see if you get any errors during the copy. If you have errors to copy from the CD, then the CD is wrong. You can download the installer from the Microsoft Web site:

    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F627E37B-A8E8-4537-9A88-3C19B670C92A&displaylang=en

    Use this download for the trail version and use the product key that is on the CD to convert it into a full version.

    I hope that it works and would like to hear from you.

    Thank you

  • I can't install/editing my "age of empires III the Warchiefs"

    Whenever I have comand to install/editing my "age of empires III the Warchiefs", it is said:

    What can I do to make this work?

    Hello Moh9212,

    Thank you for using the Microsoft answers Forum.

    The error that you have posted, it seems that the game is trying to add a firewall exception to play online and is a problem loading the dll for the specific part of the game.

    The problem you are experiencing could be related to permissions to install the game. Please make sure that you have administrator rights to install the game and all files.

    The question you have posted is related to Age of Empires and would be better suited to the support of Age of Empires community. Please visit the link below to find a community that will provide the support you want.

  • Not associate message for Age of Empires III online game?

    So I used AOEIII play online a decent amount, and I always want to play in games with my only friend. I stopped to play for... two months. Then the other day we decided to play a game together. For the last four days, we tried to bring in games, games and invite each other, etc.. It won't work. I can't get... Fifteen for topic % of the games I try to join, and I can host games very well. However, I don't know why I can't join many games and why I specifically can't join games with him. We tried games hosting and inviting each other. Always get a failure to join. And when I find someone whose game I can join, I try to invite him, but he cannot participate if I'm in the game. If I leave, however, he can join. I never got a message saying incompatibility CRC, or something like that, just the standard "failed to join. It is incredibly boring because it is a game, we're both very interested and enjoy. I hope someone can give me some solutions. Thank you advance!

    Oh, and it's not my firewall. I made sure that it is off while I play.

  • Age of Empires III icons__

    After uninstalling Age of Empires III and the expansion of the warlords are two icons remaining in the GameExplorer Panel. They are in a section called "Unspecified" at the bottom of the Panel. I can't right click to find a file location. Does anyone know how to get rid of them? I use Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. The game was initially installed on 11/28/09, so a system restore would be difficult if not impossible. I have done several searches and deleted everything related to AoE with no luck.

    Problem solved. I used "drag & drop" to create a link to the icons in GameExplorer on the desktop. Delete the shortcut on the desktop also removed the icon in the "Not specified" section of the GameExplorer. I also had this problem with an icon to Batman Arkham Assylam demo that was left in GameExplorer. I don't know why it worked, but it did. Thank you.

  • Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties uninstalling problem

    I installed Age of Empires III and two packs of its expansion. But when uninstalling, I left the Asian Dynasties and proceeded with the other two, and now I can not uninstall the package Asian Dynasties. Even when I try to install all the Asian Dynasties installation program once again, try to uninstall and fails to do so, stating the reason in the form of two missing files. Is it possible to remove the traces of the previous installation, as all the files in the installation directory have been removed?

    Hey aniket_s,

    What are the two missing files?

    You may need to rely on software from third parties to remove the traces of the previous installation of the registry.

    Please use your favorite search engine, and find one that is used.

    Before reinstalling the game, temporarily disable any anti-virus, firewall, anti-spyware software running on your system, then try reinstalling.

    To get help, view your concerns the forum below.

  • Installation of "Age of Empires III: Complete Edition" does not end.

    Original title: Age of Empires III: complete Edition. Installing reset percentage...

    Hello

    I am trying to install Age of Empires III: complete Edition on my computer windows 7 via the application of gamestop. When I interrupt the installation or turn off then turn on the computer, Setup resets to 44.3%. It feels like it will never finish the installation through this reason. Can you help me with this or is this a matter of Gamestop App support?

    «When I suspend the installation or turn off then turn on the computer, Setup resets to 44.3%.» ...
    ... or is it a matter of Gamestop App support? »

    Stop a download will often break the download, or it did when I was still using dial-up 56 k.
    The best way to get the successful download is to keep the machine running.
    I used to start the download before you go to bed and let it run overnight.
    Is there a particular reason, you must turn off your machine?
    It is also preferable to avoid making another on line jobs who can fly the download of the
    bandwidth when you have a slow connection. When a download is too slow it
    may also cause a corrupted file.

    If it's the only game that was a problem, then you can
    want to try the support of GameStop, but you deleted the file and restarted
    Download to own? If the original has been altered there is no continuous point
    with the same file.
