i am not able to run age of empires2 on WIN7 home basic......as far as i know there was a option which will make all ur previous versions os softwares to run.. please tell me where will i find it!!
Does the whole game don´t start ? Did you try the Compatiblymode ? (choose windows xp and give it a try) Select aoe2.exe and rightclick it, go to the tab "Compatibly Mode" and select Windows XP from the list. Otherwise, you may install the latest patch (2.x) when i remember right and see whats happing.
Works fine here. Windows Ultimate x64. Just a little trick. Finish explorer.exe process an then use the task manager to launch the game. Another choice is Create a batch file to launch the game: Example code for AOE II Conquerors Code: @echo off taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires II\age2_x1\age2_x1.exe" NoStartup explorer.exe Sorry for my bad english.
