I am having trouble installing this game (AOE III) on my computer which is a Windows Vista 64-bit based computer.

I have previously used it with Windows XP. I dont know what version it is and if that would make a difference. I brought the game a few months after it initially came out.

When I inserted the cd into the drive, a window pops up indicated that there is a compatibility issue.  I tried using the compatibility wizard but it doesnt work. Please, Can anyone offer some help? Thank you.

Hi Mohan:

I bought another game. This one says it works with XP or higher. I installed it with no error message and everything works fine.   Thank you and appreciate the help.

    Hey summerbreeze, mohan, and jiluitj-

    I had the same compatibility error as summerbreeze, but Im not particularly inclined to go and purchase a new game. I didn't really try all of the solutions, but considering they didnt work for summerebreeze, they wouldnt work for me. Im not all that great with computers either... Any suggestions?

    Thanks.
