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.

    is there any fix for this game? I don't want to download anything extra just to put my computer at risk for a old game that should be running on windows 10.

    Hi, so far no fix has worked for me.  I have already had to re-install Win10 twice on my PC because its a ridiculously fussy, fickle and inflexible operating system that has caused so many conflicts with hardware and software.  So as much as I'd love to be able to play the old games (which sickeningly are also MS Games so u wonder...?) I also don't want to do any unnecessary tweaking in case Win10 breaks again!  Its actually a darn right shame that they cant even keep an operating system that still does everything instead of the spoilt and selfish thing its become today! Doesn't play well with others!!!!

    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
