windows 7 and age of empires III compatibility issue

mine first gives an error saying i have zero memory lol but i can play anyways.. i get no sound tho
im gonna reinstall it just in case..

hey

they same problem happened to me. i fixed it by doing these steps.

1) right click game file ==> properties ==> compatibility
2) set the program to run in compatibility mode for windows xp servicepack 2
3) check run this program in 640x480 resolution.
4) click ok
5) double click the game. if prompted click run program.
6) at the main menu select help and tools ==> options
7) at the left pane select graphic options
8) set the shader to low.
9) save and exit
10) game should work fine now. if it doesnt hope you make it work somehow cause this game is awesome.

hope that helped.

I had the same exact problem as marmaladeskies76, all i had to do was go to the distorted Age Of Empires menu screen and click on "help and tools," then click "download updates", and after the updates, all worked well.

Additional info,
I have windows 7, intel pentium, standard graphics card, 6 gb Ram, 500 gb hard drive.

I have fully system it sound is really Heavy Duty but it as the best one.
