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.

    That's the thing. I have laptop and a costum build pc which both run on windows 10 and AOM works on my pc but not on my laptop. Every time I try to run it, it starts up plays the video and then goes black. So i don't think this problem is unfixable.

    Microsoft fix your product or why would we consider purchasing anything with your name on it in the future.

    For those with same version, I got it to work. (Windows 10 64-bit)

    It's the version with one CD with AOM and Titans Expansion.

    I almost didn't try with the depressing mood here lol.

    Process: (any of these steps could be unnecessary, I include them all)

    Enabled DirectPlay (in Windows 10)

    Put CD in, opened it to find AOMInstaller.

    opened properties of AOMInstaller and put in in Win XP SP2 compatibility.  Checked run as Admin box. (16 bit colors too, but the game allowed without)

    Ran the installer.  No problems.

    Did not try the shortcut on desktop.

    Found the aom application file in Program Files (x86)

    properties...XP service pack 2 compatibility, run as admin

    run. success. conquest.

    I don't know if the disk security was not included on this version.  But maybe it will help someone.  My computer was recently wiped because of the anniversary update MBR FUBAR catastrophe.

    Dude!!!! You are a god!!! My issue is resolved. Thank you.

    Hey i managed to fix it, i think this will work for everyone with the same problem, go to settings and  programs, make the settings full screen.

    Up in the right corner you can see something like''related settings''

    (i'm not using english as my standard language)

    Right under ''related settings'' you click ''programs and functions''

    Now upp in the left corner you press ''activate or de-activate windows functions''

    Then you scroll until you find legacy components

    Then you press the little black dot at the left of legacy components to show more, then you activate direct play and legacy components.

    Then it should all work.

    Hope this helps, it worked for me. (the shortcut and everything works)

    I just replied to the latest one btw
