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.

    Hey!! Okay, so I'm not really sure if anyone is still trying to deal with this issue, but I was today! For me, the issue wasn't at all having to deal with the secdrv, or any of that! Simply,

    1. Right click on the shortcut, and go to properties. 
    2. In the Shortcut tab, enter xres=640 at the end of the Target command. 
    3. Hit apply and run! 

    This worked for me. I ran it under this command, changed the screen resolution ingame, deleted the xres part of the shortcut, and not I am running flawlessly! 

    This was installed via an external disk drive, as my computer doesn't have one. I am running a GeForce 960M.

    OMG IT WORKED

    Ive been trying all the driver stuff but your solution just worked instantly.

    i love you bro

    Hi everybody !

    One of my PC is a dual-boot XP-32/W7-64. A few months ago I was ready to kill my XP. fact is that I rarely used it last year.

    Reading your messages, I now know for sure that my XP will still live a long life !

    CSS Is an even older technology but imagine the uproar if people could not play their existing DVD collections on their new Blu-ray player.

    You say "It's not something we can just make compatible on newer versions of windows since no third party is supporting it" but Safedisc was working in all preview builds of windows 10 until the final release.

    It is not right to just kill support for something so critical to so many people without consultation or warning.

    this issue will force people to download illegal no-cd patches that are possibly full of malware just so they can play the older games that they have paid for.
