Just a thought ,but have you tryed the compatibility wizard ? Say run under win98 drivers.

Didn't mean to ignore you, I just wouldn't have the slightest clue how to do that.

right click the shortcut or the game&#39;s exe file, click properties, click compatibility, set it to windows 98. click ok.

I&#39;m a big Age of Empires II fan, but I get frustrated playing it because it seems that my video card can&#39;t keep up. The game will play for 2 secs then freeze for 1 sec, and does this over and over. Since this is such an old game and I thought my video card was pretty good and relatively up to date, was is this game lagging?

Haha, it shoud make a difference what video card you have. I mean god dammit you&#39;ve got a 64 mb video card for age of empires??? I have a 4mb video card and it runs smoothly, and only 256mb or ram. My Zone name is Jimy_of_Antioch, play me some time bitch.

I do play other games "bitch". This one just lags .

Besides, I can&#39;t play on the Zone, if I launch a game it launches only me and the other players get an message saying host failed to launch. If they host, I get the message
