I had the Age of Empires 2 on my computer for months, but now Windows says that it is no longer compatible. What should I do?

I use Windows 7 and the properties of the game says now that it is only compatible with Win XP (service pack 3). He has never had this problem before.

Hello

1. have you made changes on the computer recently?

2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

3 has the same game works fine on the same computer before?  If the game worked fine previously normally, you can uninstall and reinstall the game.

Method 1.

According to the compatibility of Microsoft, this is the result: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Microsoft%20Age%20of%20Empires%20II&v=Microsoft&uid=&l=en&pf=0&pi=3&s=Age%20of%20Empires%202&os=64-bit

Note: You can also try the compatibility of the advice provided in the article and check if this helps troubleshooting.

Method 2.

Check the system requirements and if necessary, then install the latest version of Direct X and check if that helps.

 

Method 3.

If the program was working fine previously, then I suggest you run this program in compatibility mode and check if that helps.

    I have an iPhone 5s and have recently run out of storage, that's why I created my iCloud where he said I 5.0 GB free storage, however when I came to try to take a picture, he said I had run out of storage. Then I thought that I had to buy some more, after that I had brought a little I tried to take pictures and he said: I have no storage. I don't know how to get my work in storage.

    The message probably refers to the storage on your phone, not necessarily to iCloud.

    I created form in adobe acrobat X 1 Professional.

    Now, I want to put logic on a field.

    I want that the document will be closed if someone between age under the age of 18. and display a message for minors?

    The final document is a little drastic... Perhaps simply display an error message? In any case, you can do it like this, as a custom field validation script:

    if (event.value && Number(event.value)<18) {
        app.alert("You must be an adult to fill in this form!");
        this.closeDoc(true);
    }
    

    Be aware that using this code will close the file without saving it, and the user will lose all unsaved data that they have entered.

    Hi Gemma,

    It seems that after reinstalling, Premiere Pro no has not been updated to the latest version. Check your application creative cloud for updates. If she says Premiere Pro is up to date, try to update Premiere Pro through help > updates... option in Premiere Pro.

  • We recently had Comcast to att uverse & changed our settings in outlook express but now receive duplicate emails

    Outlook express duplicate messages

    We recently had Comcast to att uverse & changed our settings in outlook express but now receive duplicate e-mail messages.  I have leave copy on the server checked so that we can access our messages from multiple computers, do not know if there is anything else that needs to be changed to avoid this problem.

    Pretty much confirms that it is outside interference. You have McAfee on both machines? Close all programs and temporarily disable McAfee on both machines. Send a short test message now.

    Norton and McAfee are two of the worst programs to use with Windows e-mail clients. They cause conflicts and must be removed in favour of a less intrusive program like NOD32, (not free), Avast or Microsoft Security Essentials, (both free). I use MSE on all my machines and it works fine.

    However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

    15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

    So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.
