  He blew me installing the layout bar thing. I wonder if I need to change the properties of the game, reinstall or try something different.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  As suggested by Chris.B, install the game in compatibility mode and check but before that I suggest you uninstall the game from the system. Follow the steps mentioned below.

  a. click on Start menu and type programs and features in the start search box and press ENTER.

  b. Locate the program in the list, and then right-click on it and uninstall it from the system.

  Once you have uninstalled the game, try and install the game in compatibility mode and check.

  For more information about program compatibility, see the article mentioned below.

• Error "Installation package could not be opened" when tried to install Age of Empires 3

  Original title: installation package could not be opened

  Due to problems with Age of Empires 1, 2 and 3, I recently uninstalled using Advanced Uninstaller. I then reinstalled AOE 1 and 2 but when I tried to install AOE 3 I got the message "the installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it. \Age of Empires III.msi"

  I assumed that the installation disc (which must be loaded when reading) was struck and he was polite. The warning message still appears. I'm afraid I might have deleted something that I should not have when you uninstall the game. Any suggestions?

• Cannot install Age of Empires 2 error 'ARIALNB. TIF.

  Original title: Age of Empires II, 1 disc, stops installation at 'ARIALNB. TIF"4%, a lot of space on the PC.  XP, version 2002, professional running.

  Other applications have been closed.  The Task Manager are no problem.  Cancelled and restarted, same problem.

  Hello

  If you are able to install the other games\programs except the Age of Empires 2 seems clearly to be the issue with game CD, then I would say you are trying to install the game using the same CD in the other XP computer and check if it installs successfully.

• How to install Age Of Empires III on a Windows Vista or 7?

  I bought Age of Empires III (without extensions, only the original) a few years ago and it worked well on my Windows XP operating system.  I now have a Windows Vista computer and another that runs on Windows 7, and AOEIII installs correctly on either.  On the Vista computer, I get an error message saying the game has known compatibility issues, but there is no solutions when I click on the button "find solutions online.  I choose to install the program even when and installation runs without any problems, but after a few minutes, an error message appears saying that there is an error in opening a specific file and I need to check that the file exists.  I click try again, but the message continues to appear every few minutes.  I tried many solutions online, including the execution of the program in different modes of compatibility and running it as an administrator.  I downloaded a patch for the game, but when I double click on the patch to fix the game, another error message appears saying that there is a problem with my installation.  I checked many sources who say the game is fully compatiable on Windows Vista and 7, but of course, it does not work for me.

  Hi blakesk8dgk,

  ·         What is the exact error message you get?

  Check first if Age of Empire III is compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7 in Windows 7 or Windows Vista Compatibility Center:

  Windows 7 Compatibility Center

  Windows Vista Compatibility Center

  Step 1:

  Take a look at the link to the following article:

  Error messages when you try to install Age of Empires III or Rise of Nations: Rise of Legends: "Error 1935" or "Error 1904".

  Step 2:

  If the game is not compatible, then try to install in compatibility mode and check if it helps:

  Windows Vista - Make sure to run older programs in this version of Windows

  Run Windows 7 - make older programs in this version of Windows

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

  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

• Satellite P300-133 - problem installing Win Xp

  Hello

  I have a problem installing win xp to Satellite p300-133.
  To resolve this problem, I have tried the solutions:
  switch to ahci mode in bios and incorporating storage drivers compatibility intel to the installation cd xp with nlite, but none of them solved the problem.

  Laptop computer starts from the cd of xp and xp installation says "program Setup inspects your hardware configuration" and then a blank black screen comes.
  After that, the installation does nothing and waits indefinitely.

  Any ideas on this problem? Thank you.

  Hello

  > switch to compatibility ahci mode in the bios and the integration of the storage drivers Intel to xp with nlite installation cd, but none of them solved the problem.

  The two methods are good!
  You can install the Win XP without drivers Intel Storage Manager (SATA drivers) but in this case the SATA mode must be on compatible mode.
  It works for sure!

  The second method is the installation of the SATA drivers with nLite (drivers can be integrated into the new drive Win XP).

  I put t understand why this doesn t work on your laptop. I think it's a problem with your Win XP drive. Contains this Win XP SP2 or SP3?
  If this isn't the case, then you should use nLite to include min the Win XP SP2.

• Problem installing PCI-6220

  Hello

  I have problems installing a PCI-6220. The card has been installed a couple of years on a PC and rarely used. I withdrew from the it and connected to a new PC (Intel core i3 2.93 GHz, Windows7). After installing the card on the new PC in a first time, I could read the name of PCI6220 under 'Devices and interfaces' (in the program MAX) but I´d not been able to define it as a device. So I tried to remove the card and plug it in again and now the situation is even worse, I only see an "unidentified PXI system" in the program of MAX.

  Any idea what bad and what can do to make sure that the card does not work properly? As a reference, I need to connect to a CA-1000 enclosure housing a CB-68LPR device.

  Thanks in advance,

  G.

  Install the latest (9.3) DAQmx-drivers for your PCI, which could help.
