You have windows vista or xp? if you want to run the age3, you have to download the service pack 1 for win vista that addresses compatibility issues and If you have win xp then, you have to go to the icon of the game, you right click, Properties and the Compatibility tab, select the option that is compatible with win XP SP2.

Some screen resolutions may cause problems with the graphics. Age of Empires III offers support for the resolution setting of many, based on the settings that your video card supports. The monitor can, however, the resolution settings. Display problems that may occur when you play Age of Empires III are produced due to the configuration of your screen. The display configuration includes the video card, monitor and driver. We recommend using the different resolutions in Age of Empires III to try, so you can return to another place if the monitor does not support the resolution.
