Hello,
Heres my problem. I have read as many posts as I can find on this subject but so far nothing seems to help. I am trying to run AOE gold (brand new disk) it seems to install fine. But when I try to play it, it makes it fine through the intro movies and option screens but freezes somewhere between 5-15 seconds later, requiring a soft boot to get control of the computer back. I have downloaded the update 1.0c for the game and all of the video and sound card updates I can find. I have uninstalled and reinstalled multipule times using the compatibilty tricks to no avail. I tried reducing video and sound accelration with no effect. note: When the new driver for my video card came out in october I installed it right then but Windows update keeps telling me I need to install it. (It is I checked)
System specs.
Chip: AMD Athlon 1700+
Motherboard: ASUS A7V266-E
Video: Nvidia MX440
Sound: C-Media CMI8738/C3DX PCI
40 gig hard drive with plenty of free space
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
