  Hi Philofduluth and thanks for posting.

  There is not a free upgrade for Media Center 2005. If this is something you would like to do, I contact your OEM manufacturer and ask if there is a software upgrade, they can provide you.

  If you have all the updates that are available for your system go to http://update.microsoft.com . Here, you can see all the latest reviews and optional updates that may be available to you and make install.

  I hope this helps. Let us know if you have any questions.

• When you try to play multiplayer in Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, unable to join Windows 7 machine game.

  I have Windows 7 Home Premium and whenever I try to play multiplayer with my XP machine, the computer detects the game, but whenever I try to join, he tells me that he is unable to join the game.  We have disabled the two firewalls, but that has not worked.  In addition, we played on LAN.

  Well, looking around, I actually found a person who says that if you change the type of connection (in game settings) of TCP/IP to IPX fixed LAN connection problems.

  Also check that your router is configured to allow traffic on the ports required by the game.

• Age of Empires (collectors edition) nothing that appears when the disc inserted.

  Age of empires (collectors edition).
  nothing seems to be appearing when I insert the disc
  and I know not weather am I ment to happen something to download, a Web site or document? Help, please!

  You seem to have active AutoRun.  Click the start ORB, then type in AutoRun and press ENTER.

  A new box should appear, select the line of software and games, and use the drop-down list to select installation or execution of the program.  Click Save.

  Press the tab open on the DVD/CD drive and then close it (with your disk of Age of Empires, always in the drive)... now the installation option should appear.

  Enjoy the game!

• No background music in Age of Empires II Collectors Edition.

  There is no background music in AoE II and AoE II Expansion.
  I tried just about anything and have scoured the internet for people with the same problem.
  Apparently, the problem is unusual for the collectors edition, as the background music for AoE II remains on the cd, after installation, to broadcast while playing the game.
  I tried different things, but none were successful.

  Yes, I turned up the volume on the computer and has nothing to do with a button "On / off music" non-existent.

  This may help for future reference. If DVD media does not contain files in a first time, you are out of luck. If so, it is probably compressed in a format to archive, similar to what Activision did with the development of their game. Different may be a compatibility issue with this game and CD/DVD drives. Originally, if I'm not wrong, an audio cable should be connected to the sound card of the user and the CD/DVD drive to transmit data to the audio chipset. New disks do not use technology.

  This could help:

  Click Start, click Control Panel, click performance and Maintenance and then click System.
  Click the Hardware tab, and then click Device Manager.
  Click on the + (plus sign) next to CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, click your CD-ROM drive, and then click Properties.
  Click to check the digital audio CD activate this CD-ROM devices checkbox and then click OK.
  On the file menu, click on exit to close the Device Manager window.

  ALSO! Take a look at this:

  It would be strange if the collectors edition lacked the OST and then the original edition had.

  Thank you!

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

  Description: Failed to load DLL: FirewallInstallHelper.

  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.

• Isn't CD player to play Age of Empires 3 complete Collection and Age of Empires 2 Gold Edition

  I recently bought a laptop Windows 8, which is not equipped with a cd player. I have Age of Empires 3 complete Collection and Age of Empires 2 Gold Edition on CD. is there a way I can download games in my new laptop and use my product key to play?

  Hi Omarreyes,
   
  You can copy the contents of the game on the game CD on a removable media such as flash media, and then try to install the game.
   
  You can also use another external CD/DVD drive to install and play the game from the CD.
  If the problem persists, I suggest you to contact direct support for Windows games in the context of this question. You can check the link:
