Hey guys, I had a sudden urge to play Age of Empires 1 and am stumped because I keep coming across the error "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw."
The game itself starts up but hits a black screen and crashes to this error... I tried running in every compatibilty mode possible but to no avail. DirectXDiag is showing that I do have DirectDraw working...
Specs in sig. (GPU has temporarily been changed to GeForce 6600GT, IS compatible with AoE, played using that card on my old comp)
I did a bit of searching and came across stuff such as "The movie files need to be skipped" I haven't put the movie files on the installation. Any clues?
