Age of Empires 2 - Black screen after intro

Hey guys,

I used to play Age of Empires 2 on my old computer on Windows ME, now I've
tried to install it on my laptop which runs windows XP with service pack 2.

It installed fine and played the opening cinematics, but after that the
screen goes black and does nothing. I've updated it and everything but I
still get the same result. I've used the 'nostartup' parameter to skip the
intro but then all I get is a black screen.

The same happens with the Conquerors expansion pack.

Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Matt
