    Installed AOE3, but its not working!? Help please!


    I've installed all 3 Disc and tried starting up the game, but nothing came up at all.

    Message bubble: "The color scheme has been changed to Windows 7 Basic"
    "A running program isn't compatible with certain visual elements of Windows."

    Don't have a clue on what to do.

    Hi Dorado,

    I've tried looking everywhere on the icon properties and it doesn't show the Compatibility Mode Tab anywhere. All I get is General, Shortcut, Security, Detail, and Previous Versions.
