Age of Mythology - Windows 10

If it's disabled, you can enable it  (configure it to work) with

sc config secdrv start= demand

Thanks Kathy07

I have tried that as well but it just throws up an error, I have now removed the offending update KB3086255 and all is working again, it may be a security risk but that is a chance I am prepared to take.

I have now found that after the last update to windows 7 this and all my other games are now working correctly again without having to enable secdrv.

Before I upgrade to Windows 10 again can anyone confirm if Microsoft have finally seen sense and made these older games playable on Windows 10?.

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.

[ Solved ] Age of Mythology and Age Of Empires - III are not working in Windows 10 64 - bit computer.

I've Age Of Empires - II with all new expansions and Age of Mythology and Age Of Empires - III.

Age Of Empires - II with all new expansions is working on Windows 10 32 - bit and 64 - bit but,

Age of Mythology and Age Of Empires - III are not working in Windows 10 64 - bit computer.

I installed all the above in steam.

I installed windows 10 32 bit and made a backup copy of this folder [ C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common ]

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

2. directplay support

and restart pc and aoe 3 works.

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.
