BleepingComputer.com: Age Of Empires Ii

Hello,

I am having trouble with Age of Empires II, the Conquorers Expansion. I cannot finish a game on my desktop. I have no problems on my laptop. I am running XP, SP2 on a Athlon XP 2800+ 2.13mhz with 1GB of Ram. I play the standard game with 3 computer players and the game stops and wants me to send MS a report. I am including the text file that is sent to MS, I have sent it several times and I do not get a link to any solutions. I do not know what has changed in my system; I have owned this game for several years and played it fine on this same machine until a couple months ago. I run Avast anti-virus and Zonealarm Firewall. I have a Nvidia Nforce video adapter with 256MB.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Same here. Started about a day or 2 ago. Was playing and then it kept crashing. tried reinstalling and even had an old backup of the entire AOEII and Xpan
folders and it did the same thing. Even replaced the "AGE2_X1.ICD" file with another one but same problem.

hi guys
I was googled and I saw your post and because I was in the same problem I know how do you feel

the problem started when i wanted play AoE 2 it's just crashed and I got blue screen of death ,I tried everything .. nothing after that i said why not try with WOW but i got another problem it said in C++ then the problem expanded to video card Nvidia Geforce it is just crashed when i start win ,i said it is maybe just a virus I tried everything but got no sucess...

Kaspersky
Bitdefender
Norton 2007
Macfee
Trend Micro
and many more
all said it is cleaned

but Finally i know what was the problem believe or not ... it was W32.parite.b that stupid worm

Virus infected almost evry .exe file on my PC..
EVen wen i tried to play any game,the blue screen flickers . And i think most of you remember the "ANNOYING BLUE SCREEN" which says please remove latest drivers or harwares u installd and some more Sh**..
I think that the reason for the blue screen was this.
W32.parite.b virus attached itself to the graphic drivers .exes (all exes and some boot sector files)That's why i was not able to play AoE 2 and wow

Finally i made it.I used Nod 32 again,it removed the virus..
or try this http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32pariteb.html

Hope this helps
