Age Of Empires II - Doesn't works on XP

[bigcomp]

I tried playing age of empires 2 on my XP but its not working, i open it and it throws me an error that aoe2 encountered a problem and....... e.t.c but when i run it on my 98 it works fine.

Do you have two separate computers with 98 and XP? Check for patches for XP.

try running it in compatibility mode? so that it thinks its running on a windows 98 PC

it shouldn't be a compatibility issue. AOE2 is an XP game.

it shouldn't be a compatibility issue. AOE2 is an XP game.

Where are you reading that? AOE2 was released in 98 I believe maybe you are think of AOE3?

And I have it running perfectly fine not in compatibility mode on a XP home and a XP pro. Can you post a screen shot of the error message?

Yeah it is a XP game, but it will even run on 95. I have played it on my
965WH system and on my old Dell(XP). So, it should run.

oh ya I am thinking of the 3rd installment. For some reason I thought there were only two.
