Age Of Mythology Problem

hi, I installed and played this game without any problem
only for the first time

but during the second time playing
it gives me the "initialization failed" message
and shuts down

whats wrong here?

Uninstall and then reinstall if that doesn't work and you are using a copy try dling the AOM.exe crack and put it in the c:\program files\microsoft game\Age of Mythology directory.

If u see a dll error you can also try to replace that file.

yes, I was talking about the replaced aom.exe situation
I used the crack
and that was what happened

Try intalling the latest patch.

yes, I tried that too
still cant play

my next attempt is on the titans expansion
but the DL is way too slow...
