    I waited too long and now I cannot go back to 8.1.   Thanks for the reply.

    I've been told that Slysoft's Game Jackal pro will do that, but I don't currently have the ≈$32 for the download. Wish I could give firsthand info. If I understood the MS tech correctly, no patching to accommodate older discs is going to be done.

    If the problem is with the Disk launch sequence, how about a patch that would allow us to copy our Disk to Hard Drive, patch & run from there.

    Age of Mythology has the same problem, and I do not want different versions, regardless of cost.

    None of the references above answer the original question.  Would think that since Age of Empires is a game developed by Microsoft that a more explicit answer would be available.  Disappointed.
