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 is right, click "save as" then save it to your computer. After it is saved right mouse on it and choose "extract" when it is extracted, double click the folder to open it, copy the aom.exe and then follow the instructions in the previous post to copy it over the original file.

    Still getting just a bunch of error messages. 

    When I click download, it asks "what should Firefox do with this file?  Open with....or save file.  Can you give me step-by-step instructions from here?  I'm not sure whether I'm doing it right.

    Dang it...got all excited but still nothing.

    I followed the guide step by step but still nothing.  I have the CD version of AoM and when I click the desktop shortcut, a message pops up saying "would you like to allow this app to make changes to your system?", at which point I click "yes", and nothing happens. 

    Argh

    Thanks. 

    I tried this and the program still won't open :(

    Even after a couple of years it seems Windows 10 still won't play many older Microsoft games...I'm very disappointed. 

    Tried playing Age of Mythology and Empire Earth to no avail.
