• Windows 7 Age of Empires II and Age of Empires III doesn't fill the entire screen

  I just finished the installation of Age of Empires II Age of Kings and the Expansion of the Concqerors on my new PC which has Windows 7.  Not only am I have problems of color with Age of Kings II, both games II and III will not fill my 27-inch (1920 x 1080) monitor.  I set the screen resolution and downloaded the latest driver for my GTX 580 of NVIDEA but nothing seems to work.  How can I solve the problems of color with Age of Kings II and how can I solve the problem with the games only using the central part of my monitor and leaving a lot of black space on both sides.  Y at - it a patch from microsoft for these questions?  If this is not the case, there should be.  Help, please.

  This is not a gambling problem. These old games only were not aware that future screen sizes might be greater than 640 x 480, probably 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 (high end!). So there not in the set of options to set the display in today HD resolution. This adjustment can now be done by the video card driver that must be able "to scale", or you will enjoy with the size of the screen not interpolated, original (on a screen 1920 x 1080, which will only be part of your actual screen). I do not have an NVIDIA card, on my AMD card, 'scaling' option is an Advanced Catalyst Control Center setting, there should be something similar in the controls of your 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.

• 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.

• age of empires III ERROR 1603 consult windows install help (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information

  I tried to install age of empire III on my computer windows 7, but I got an error until I had to even insert the key (ERROR 1603 consult windows help install (msi.chm) or MSDM for more information). I tried to enter in the files and run the setup.exe as an administrator, but it did not help.

  Anyone know why this happens and how to fix it?

  AoE3 is fully compatible with Win7 and I had no problem at the facility, but it may not be compatible with

  your graphics accelerator if it's an older 'integrated' graphics chip.

  (This should show a different kind of error message, but sometimes Windows spits a seemingly unrelated error message.)

  Try to post on AOE3 forums below. There may be someone who has had the problem with the installation of the game-

• Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties cannot install the "Art5.bar" of the case and would not proceed beyond this file. I have

  Original title:

  Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties

  After a few years with Age of Empires III: the Asian Dynasties uninstalled I recently tried to install it. When the Setup could not install the file "Art5.bar" and would not proceed beyond this file. I tried several facilities with the same result. If it is a zero or a problem with the disc, is there no way, far from buying a new copy, which would allow the installation of The Asian Dynasties or would repair the disk? Is it not possible to force the installation to jump before the installation of the file "Art5.bar" and try to find the file online a patch or another source?

  I found similar questions online and was trying a possible solution, which was to copy files from my drive in another file and try to install from there. Then I discovered that windows can not copy a certain file on the disk, called ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' correctly. The copy process stop, just as the installer of The Asian Dynasties had previously and would not then spent the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I was also unable to copy the file '00002.tmp', but I was able to jump in front of the copy of the file. I don't know if this file is corrupted and critical for installation, were not able to determine if yes, when you attempt to run Setup from the folder Setup cannot start the installation of The Asian Dynasties without the ' YPack_ ~ 1 ' file. I have not found similar questions online and do not know if this is the issue of the installation of The Asian Dynasties or indicates files corrupted on my drive.

  Hi, I could not also copy the 00002.tmp, but I think it might be due to a cyclic redundancy check indicating a damaged drive.

  Maybe try to download this file from the internet and (after checking that it is the right file) replacing the version on your CD.

• Cannot install 'Age of Empires III War Chiefs' on Windows 8.

  Original title: Age of Empires III war Chifes does not install

  I got a new computer Windows 8 64-bit. When I tried to install my favorite game Age of Empires III, the expedition of warlords will not be installed at the same time the Asian Dynasties and the Age of regular Empires is installed and works very well.

  Hello

  I had problems to install this game as well.
  The error occurred to me was that the program was not installed for all users.
  I found a solution to:
  1. go to computer > C: and the option to display hidden items.
  2. after a hidden folder named ProgramData will appear.
  3. then you should go ProgramData > Microsoft > Windows > StartupMenu > programs.
  4. When you are in that folder you just create another folder named Microsoft Games.
  5. inside of this new folder, you create another one named Age of Empires III
  6. now just try to reinstall.
  It worked for me on Windows 8, I hope it helps someone.

• 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.
