computer problem need advice

[kylejh]

hi guys, i have a problem and after lookin around the internet at diffenrent
computerforums i found you guys were the most helpful to eachother.

ok heres the problem i hope you can help me with.

- i got age of empires 3 yesterday for my son and i have cheacked and my computer
exceeds the requirements for the game so there shouldnt be any problems
but there is... for some reason the graphics wont work as are ment to and
if i try ajusting the graphics then the game crashes and says "error running this program
send error report bla bla bla"

i no its not the game because i tried it on a older computer of mine that doesnt meet
the requirements and the game works fine just the graphics are crap and its slow.

ive tried everything stoping things runnin in the background uninstallin installing.
so ive give up and decided to ask for some professional help.

hope you guys can help.

What is the specs of your computer? Does it have up to date drivers? Also, are there viruses/spywares on the computer?

Yes, we really need to know what the specs of your system are. A game crashing could be caused by many things. It is usually a bad driver, but it could be some hardware conflicts as well.
