Age of Mythology does not work

[mzeim]

I found a startoption "video save" . That was working but I had no sound
Then I looked where this link leeds to (Eigenschaften - don´t know how MS calls that in English) and found out that it was the AOM.exe but with some excuesions. I ereased the excluesion "no sound" and then it worked perfectly.
When I start it that way, I have no intro but the game is running.
I think there might be a copy check in the intro which is left out in that way

Thanks for your help
