Age of Mythology - Windows 10

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

sc config secdrv start= demand

Thanks very much Microsoft.

I have just returned from being abroad working for six weeks and my computer which I rolled back to Windows 7 has updated and now AOM games are not working.

I have tried the Command prompt SC START SECDRV to no avail, I just get the message "The service cannot be started either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it".

Microsoft you excel at annoying your customers.

As I said at the beginning thank you, and goodbye.

I had the same problem with Windows 7 Pro.  The update was probably KB3086255 and the solution to make AoM work again was described in MS15-097 (Microsoft Security Bulletin 15-097).  I think I posted the links in this thread already.  :)  

The device driver secdrv.sys was determined to be a security risk, so disabled by MS.  To temporarily enable it for the game, you'll use the DOS command prompt.  You can do a 'search' for the command prompt.  When you find it, right click on it to use as admin, or as an 'elevated command prompt.'  You'll get the black command prompt window with white text.  You should see something like 'c:\windows\system32>' where you type 'sc start secdrv' and enter to manually start the driver again.

When you are through playing, you can disable it again, for security, using the elevated command prompt 'sc config secdrv start= disabled' and enter.

I also found the only way to start my AoM program is to right click on it in the program list or shortcut and select run as admin from the drop down menu.

I love this game so much I rolled back Windows 10, which would not allow me to play it.  I understand the secdrv.sys driver does not come with Windows 10.

Hi,

Well yes it is a bit risky to use a no cd crack, specially because its an old game and most links have expired. It seems that those that are still available could potentially have virus.

The other problem with the no cd crack is that most of them can't be used to play online. I remember there was a trick you could do by going to the registry and modify certain parameters to be able to play in ESO with the no cd loader. Unfortunately I don't know how it is done.

I have the old CDs, the vanilla and the TE. All this situation is tempting me to buy the Expanded Edition but I am doubtful as I am afraid that it won't run as well.

Has anyone tried it?

It does not working for me to open it in admin..

If I understand well there is any other option for the moment..?

Please Help I really want ton find back AOM!!!
