Windows 7 - windows 7 and age of empires III compatibility issue

I have installed Age of Empires III and it runs with my windows 7 ultimate, but in the homescreen and game there are severe graphic distortions and I can't play the game.
I have tried changing the compatibility to run the game for windows vista, xp, etc. but nothing works.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the game.. help please!

Would need to know more about your system first. I run Age of Empires 3 under Win 7 64 bit, 7127 with no problems. I also had no problems with previous Win 7 Builds, both 32 and 64 bit.

My System:
Intel C2D 6420 2.13 Ghz
nVidia 8600 GTS 256 MB
2 GB DDR2
Win 7 Ult. Build 7127 64 bit
Etc.

I didn't have to run AoE3 in any compatibility mode. I bet you are having a problem with your vid card. Probably a driver issue. But, like I said, need more info. AoE3 is still a great game.

Go fishing around and see if your Card has a Beta Driver for Windows 7
I know the ATI one solved my GFX oddities on Windows 7

I also have this same problem I'm running Intel Centrino Duo, 1.73Ghz Windows 7 Ultimate Mobile intel (R) 945 Express chipset Family 2Gb RAM on my Toshiba A100 laptop, worked fine while I had vista, now doesn't even work in compatibility mode If anyone has any ideas on how to get this awesome as game to run please reply Thanks

Keywords in your problem
"Intel Mobile 945 Express Chipset"
Bout 90% of all games made with DX 9.0c (AoEIII included) HATE the chip and it doesn't even remotely function in 50% of those.
So if "I" were you I'd search the net for anyone else having this issue with the chipset.

Yeah I understand that it may not play with most but I've already had it working on my computer before I upgraded to win 7 from vista on Age of empires III. So I'm not sure what's wrong

Hello everyone. I installed AOE3 and working. It wouldn´t work but I chosed to play under win xp sp 3 compatibility. All of the *.exe files. It worked but when I tried to go to the hometown, It stop working. Everytime. Can someone please tell me what to do? Thank you.

AOE3 works fine on Windows 7 32 and 64: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=Age%20Of%20Empires%20III&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=0π=1&s=Age%20of%20empires% 203&os=32-bit
Go to Welcome to NVIDIA - World Leader in Visual Computing Technologies or Advanced Micro Devices Inc. and download the latest version off your drivers.

It works fine for me in 7 Professional 32 bit on my laptop, with an Intel GMA 965 chipset, and 7 Home Premium 64bit on my desktop.
I think the best thing to do is check all your drivers are up to date, or if that doesn't work, resinstall the game.

The game apparently works fine here... but when I put more than 2 teams (for example, 2 vs. 2) the game expose lags (that are so troubling). I have already tried to put the graphic settings in low, but it don't resolve the problem. I think that my pc would support the game perfectly, (Its a core i7 920 3.4Ghz OC, 6GB DDR3, 2x ATI HD5850, MB Asus P6T), because I play Crysis in "Very High settings" with 8X AA and works fine...

Sorry my bad english..


ah, I'm using Win 7 ultimate 64bits
