Ageof Empires II is not originally fully compatible with Windows 7, but you can do some tweaks to fix the issues and still enjoy the game! "Everything we do is dictated by motive." Marked as answer by Juke Chou Friday, February 3, 2012 2:22 AM Ifyou can't run Age of Empires 2 on Windows 10, you may need to use a system optimizer. Sometimes compatibility with your MyComputer was broken therefore I had to reinstall Age of Empires. Now I have the problem that I can't change the resoultion of my game. The resolution stays always at 800 x 600. In the past it worked when windowed mode was activated, but when I use the windowed mode now, I get a black screen and the game freezes. tQRRKp4.
