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.

    forget the steam, it's the same riskful!

    i download the steam, get aoe2 the forgotten empires/FE,

    while playing, i keep receive security notice from my anti-virus soft that is McAfee 

    said there is un-wanted program download coming,  try to get in my computer and McAfee 

    has quarantine it automatically for me.  this will only happen when i open steam and playing that game,

    i got "visit" by un-wanted program 7 times when playing aoe2 hd FE around 4 hours,

    2 hours in morning and maybe 1.8 in afternoon that day.

    Then i uninstall steam in the same day that i install it.

    i don't know is someone same as me , is that the problem of the steam

    or the game  or the anti-virus?

    But if you tell me to get steam again to play my AOM gold edition purchased from my local game store

    , i just can't , because i won't take risk.

    why i buy AOM GE disc, not only the legal way for game

    and also risk-free, safe, game from trusted Microsoft.

    Just hope Microsoft will do something for those old games.

    and then removed windows 10 32 bit and installed windows 10 64 bit and copied the files

    to this folder [ C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common ]

    using Gandolf Windows 10 PE boot USB drive image.

    Age of Mythology is now working but AOE - III is still not working.

    Right click on Windows 10 start menu and select " Programs and features " then click on " Windows components "

    and then install

    tick 

    1. legacy support

    and

    1. directplay support

    and restart pc and aoe 3 works.
