Well, with the best will in the world I do not think I am going to be able to help you
http://cdn.steampowe...df?t=1276640342I am sure you already have it, but in case you do not.
One suggestion I have found was to install IN COMPATABILITY mode and right click and run as admin, then copy both CD`s to different folders.
Then install the first on the hard drive and then when it asks for the second point it to the other folder.
The other reports I have found all refer back to the general idea that it will run on some 64 bit windows 7 and not on others and it simply depends on the whole nature of the setup
Virtual Machine seems to have the most favourable results
Sorry I cannot help further, as I said at the start gaming is a foreign subject to me, but many problems can be sorted by general tech analysis.
Mainly however when it crashes whilst playing, rather than loading.
You may wish to look at event viewer to see if there is any report connected with it
- Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso VEW and save it to your Desktop:
- Double-click VEW.exe
- Under 'Select log to query', select (as appropriate):
- Under 'Select type to list', select (as appropriate):
On the first run please select only ERROR and only Application
You can run this choosing any of the dates or number of events.
If you select Error Warning and Information it will swamp us.
Then use the 'Date of events' or 'Number of events' as follows:Either:
- Click the radio button for 'Number of events'
Type 3 in the 1 to 20 box (or any number from 1 to 20)
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log. - Click the radio button for 'Date of events'
In the From: boxes type today's date (presuming the crash happened today) say a week ago pls.
In the To: boxes type today's date (presuming the crash happened today) 30/3/12
Then click the Run button.
Notepad will open with the output log.
It makes it easier to read the results, although event viewer itself in Windows 7 is quite easy to use direct from that.
Control Panel Administrative Tools, Event Viewer.
If you expand the items on the left pane and then when you have sepected what you wish, you may click the colum heading and that will sort the Source, Date, Level.
On the right hand side you will see FIND
click that and type Empires or Dawn of the Modern World
on the application in Windows logs.
You may just be lucky that if it is recorded it will give you a clue.
If you do feel I can be of further assistance if you find anything please do post
