Age of Mythology does not work
Hi friends,
I am new here and hope, you can help me. I made a backup copy of my AoM original. I found a nocd exe which worked to watch the intro but then there is an error. I tried the same with the AoM of a friend of mine, who installed it with the same nocd on his computer and it worked. I have XP and he has ME. Do I have a chance to run it on XP? Best regards mzeim

I solved the problem
I found a startoption "video save" . That was working but I had no sound
 Then I looked where this link leeds to (Eigenschaften - donīt 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 mzeim

It sounds like there's a problem with the video codec, the program that's used to play the little movies on disc. I don't know which codec is used by AOM, there's Smacker (.smk), Bink (.bik), and a few others. Could you tell me what extension AOM's video files have ? Look out for names like 'intro'...

File type
The intro file is a .bik file. However meanwhile also the standard start.exe works. I will never understand microsoft products
But everything is fin now - never look a gift-horse in the mouth.  Thank you and best regards mzeim
