I recently purchased a custom built pc packed with windows 8.1 which I upgraded to Windows 10.

I installed Age of Mythology yesterday and when I try to run the game nothing happens. I have tried all compatibility suggestions and I get the same result.

I also have this same problem with black and white 2.

I have a NVIDIA Geforce gtx 980 graphics card installed in my pc.

Can you provide any suggestions please.

Thank you.

    The following worked for me

    Go to Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology\aomnocd.exe

    right click aomnocd.exe and run as administrator, it might try to install something.

    After installation right click aomnocd.exe and run as administrator.

    Do you really think it is fair to advise people to "buy the game again" when they have already bought and paid for it once?, does this apply to all Microsoft games with this same problem?, are Microsoft really expecting that people will just sit back and pay out a second time?, sorry but I for one will be initially rolling back to Windows 7 and then looking at Linux or similar.

    Hi http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/profile/e32c887c-e36e-4d67-8d7c-9aa40a2b47fbSayan_Ghosh ,

    Did you have any further advice?

    Age of Mythology Gold is listed as "Compatible No Action Required", here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/compatibility/CompatCenter/ProductDetailsViewer?Name=Microsoft%20Age%20Of%20Mythology%3A%20Gold&vendor=Microsoft&Locale=1033%2C2057%2C3081%2C4105%2C16393&ModelOrVersion=1&BreadCrumbPath=Age%20of%20Mythology&LastSearchTerm=Age%2Bof%2BMythology&Type=Software&tempOsid=Windows%2010

    But as you can see, it's seeming that it's not and perhaps the missing driver in WIndows 10 64-bit is the issue.

    Many thanks.

    It looks like Microsoft are being their usual unhelpful selves and just want to loose customers.

    I have two computers one laptop which is still (for the moment) on Win 10 and a desktop used mainly for gaming, the desktop is already back on Win 7 and now looking into Linux I am getting tired of Microsoft's attitude towards their customers.
