Problem installing Age Of Mythology on Windows 7 (bridge)

I just installed an old cd of Age of Mythology that my family got about 6 years ago. He jumped a program and I thought it would be fine, but when I started it, the graphics came not

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.

  • Age Of Mythology on Windows 7 Graphics problem

    I have Age Of Mythology installed on my new laptop HP Pavilion G6 which uses Windows 7.  While the game my graphics can lift a bit messed up and visibility of my people is not really visible when it runs through areas that were still unexplored, as all the darkness disappears only in large blocks.  I can only see the lands within these blocks when the darkness disappears.  Enemies are because when they rise to where my line of sight should be.  The darkness and the line of sight is very much on the minimap, however, but not on the main Board.  It didn't happen when I played the game on Windows XP.  It's extremely annoying.

    Hello

  • Problems installing of printer in the Windows XP compatibility box

    I am trying to use my printer Canon MX870 Windows XP compatibility mode. In the compatibility window is my computer has no printer, and apparently no USB ports don't either.

    When I try to print from a program that is running in compatibility mode, I get an error box that says: no printer driver is installed.

    I found an MS article that says I should choose the Windows XP desktop tools > parameters command and check the printer in the menu of the integration features. I tried and found that printer is already checked.

    I tried to install a separate printer driver compatibility window and had no luck there either. The "Add a printer" Wizard has informed me that there is no plug-and-play printer connected to the computer. When I tried to install the printer manually, I found that none of my USB ports have been listed as locations.

    My computer has eight USB ports, an RS-232 port and a parallel port. The Wizard indicates that it is three parallel ports, 4 serial ports and seven ports 'TS' appointed TS001, TS002, etc., of which the last is "inactive".

    I don't know how to make the link between these imaginary ports of Windows XP for real hardware in my computer. (If I did, I would still need to know which one to use. I know, but Windows is supposed to automatically allocate the names of devices on the USB ports that is appropriate, in view of these problems, I am not prepared to assume that it will be).

    How can I handle this? All this seems to be a mess.

    Hello


    To work around the problem, try the following steps if you have this driver on the XP Mode desktop file.

    a. click Start, click Control Panel , and search for printers , and then double-click Printers.
    b. now, click Add Printer.
    c. Select Add a local printer and click create a new port.
    d. Select Local Port and click Next.
    e. type in "[\\computer name\printer name]"(sans les guillemets) for the Port name and click OK. ""
    f. follow the instructions to complete the installation. During the installation, when you are prompted to choose a good driver; Click the "disk".
    g. navigate to the driver file you have on the desktop XP mode, then click OK. Now, check if the printer is correctly installed.

    You can even provide the driver through a disk file if you do not have internet access to download the file via the XP mode.

  • Problems installing update PS CS5 new Windows 7 laptop w / prior to PS. already installed

    Hello

    When I got my new Windows 7 laptop, I tried loading on PSCS5, but given that it was a record of update and previous versions weren't there, it has not loaded. I finished my work for a trial period of 30 days on a sabatical recently, I uninstalled it and all the PS files except the recorded images and have now gone through the following process to try to load it:

    (1) 6.0 PS to a CD and serial number that I have - no problem

    (2) expenses PS CS2 on a CD and the nuimber series - I own no problem

    (3) charge of PSCS5 from a Update CD also bought, and got an error saying something about CS4 have to be uninstalled before CS4 could be loaded correctly.

    Curious because A: I never loaded CS4 and B: did not. So I uninstalled all possibly troubling to Adobe Flash Player, even files of Patch, but no ASA or Adobe Download Helper. Some files Adobe leaves behind, I deleted and emptied the Recycle Bin and rebooted more several times different. To my knowledge, my CS5 has been used on another computer. I have to disable on the other? I find it on a 3rd computer, but if it was just uninstalled without disabling, would I need to re - install for the deactivation of this feature on the 3rd. I hope someone can help me to say how many computers have CS5 activation.

    Now, I tried to simply load the disc of CS2 and will the PSCS5 and failed, so I re-did steps 1-3 after serving as Lightroom3 and DreamWeaver CS3, think about something from them might have been the culprit (however they previously loaded flawlessly after a deactivation of the DW function on another computer). This time, that Support Adobe area came upwards and after searching for the system or something else, said "no problem found", and I have to contact Adobe Support. Address no FAQ this problem and an analysis of the forums was not helpful. So here I am.

    Any ideas? If it is the lack of a registry entry, it would be useful to know exactly that which and how precisely is it and patch in Windows 7 for those of us who aren't geeks. I'm guessing that this might be a recurring problem and it would be useful to have this code for the patch, if known.

    Otherwise, I'm stuck using CS2, everything OK, no CS5.

    All of my Adobe products were purchased originally bought and activated by me.

    Thanks for any help,

  • Resolution problem with Age of Empires on Windows 7.

    I can't get Age of Empires to work in a resolution of 1280 x 800; It plays only at 640 x 480. I tried all the different compatibility options, and none of them worked. This game worked on Windows Vista, but since I have upgraded to Windows 7. How to get the game to run at least in a higher resolution?

    MS Windows 7 Home Premium
    Intel Pentium Dual CPU T2310 @ 1.4 GHz, 2.0 GB RAM, Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family
    Thank you

    Well, I looked, and I have to do an update of the driver from the manufacturer's Web site. But HP has no updates for my type of computer running windows 7. Does this mean I'm stuck with the resolution 1024 x 768?

    Lonnie7 you have... once more... for a game, you can choose only these resolution which are supported by a game. 1280 x 800 is NOT supported by AoE.

    You remove the black bars, your image is adjusted to fill all the screen and that's all you can do.

    If my graphic card support I say 1900 x 1200 can I run AoE with this resolution? NO! I can only choose these resolution which are supported by a game.

    My workplace has climbed to Windows 7 Enterprise (64-bit), and I'm currently not able to use my HP 1022n printer.

    I found the site to download the driver 1022n, but to halfway through the installation process I get an error message that the driver is not connected to a USB port on my computer. But it IS connected, and I tried all ports. (I also tried unplug, disconnect, turn off and then reconnect, reconnect and switch on everything.)

    The printer worked fine with my old computer, a 32-bit machine running XP and it is supposed to work correctly with Windows 7 64 - bit, too, but I'm stuck at this point.

    FYI, I use the HP1022n as a stand-alone printer, not through a network.

    I have run the HP tool and simply get the diagnosis that the printer is not installed.  I checked the printer spooler, too, which is started and set to automatic.
