| Hi,
|
| I have Age of Empires 2 (the age of kings) and i have
| tried launching the game with the 2.0a patch, and without
| it, i have tried installing it to different folders and
| drives, i have a reasonably new computer and i am running
| Windows XP Professional, 512 ram etc.
|
| Anyway, i get this error at every instance of my running
| AOE 2, the age of kings, straight after the splash screan:
|

|
| It requests that i send an error report. It then doesn't
| launch and just quits.
|
| Thanks.
Before beginning, make sure your not starting the game in compatibility mode.
Let's try some basic troubleshooting. If the problem still persists
please post back and we'll try some more steps. Good luck! 
1. To see if it's a software conflict: Temporarily disable Startup
programs one at a time, starting with Firewall, Antivirus, and ad
blockers using: http://new.jtsoft2001.com/windows/startup.php
You can lookup what a program does before you disable it here:
http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php
2. Run a virus scan at: http://housecall.antivirus.com Afterwards
Download & Run Spybot from: http://security.kolla.de to find any
Trojans, Adware, or Spyware which could clog up your system.
3. Click My Computer / Rightclick the Drive & Choose Properties
/ Run the "Disk Cleanup..." / Next Click the "Tools" Tab and run
the "Error-Checking" and "Defragmentation" utilities.
4. Go to the Windows Update site for everything under Critical and
Recommended: http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com Some games
require a patch: http://www.avault.com/pcrl/patches_list.asp?letter=a
5. Update DirectX and your Chipset, Sound, &Video Drivers:
For all Video / DirectX / Game and Hardware Issues, I have a

I followed those step previously, as you gave that advise
on other topic, but the problem still has not stopped.
I did check that it wasn't in compatability mode, and it
wasn't.

Jimmy,
No, it has been happening ever since i have had this
install of Windows XP.
AOK seems to be incompatible with Windows XP Professional
for me. I don't doubt that installing Windows ME or even
XP again, would probably fix it, but i am not willing to
go to all that trouble just to play AOK.

Hi Clayton,
That's strange.. so strange in fact, maybe using compatibility mode
*will be good* in your situation. Right click the game exe file and
in it's Properties / Compatibility Tab choose Windows 98. GL!

I had a look at the site and it might be an interference from your temp
files. Solution: go to your temp folder (C:\documents and settings\owner(or
your own name)\local settings\temp) and delete the folders starting with
WER. You will have to change your view settings as 'local settings' is a
hidden folder.
