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.

    I don't know much about computers...I just really like to play games like age of mythology, age of empires, zoo tycoon, roller coaster tycoon, and red alert series. My gf and I upgraded to Windows 10 but am unable to get any of the discs to load. Got red alert 2 to load, it said incompatible; did the trouble shoot guide but didn't fix it. I uninstalled it then went to reinstall, a message popped up to input my admin password to allow the set up to take place, after hitting enter the disc sounded like it was loading but nothing would happen.

    Suggestions????

    Do I need to uninstall Windows 10 and bring back my Windows 7? If so, how do I do that? Please help, I'm a dumb blonde :)

    I have tried clean boot up with no success. AOM: GOLD is definitely on the Windows 10 compatibility list as compatible.

    I downloaded the additional driver as mentioned but still no success.

    I am going to try opening explorer as administrator then install and run game again to see what happens. Going to try this as this worked with windows 8.1 when I had similar issues installing Visual Studio 2012.

    Thanks for all the suggestions so far guys. I will let you know how I get on.

    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.
