Current Version (date-time)
DirectDrawFix 20130101-154045
Introduction
Windows Vista and Windows 7 break color compatibility with certain applications that depend upon palette-based, 256-color graphics. Due to changes to DirectX and DirectDraw, the colors of these applications and games may appear distorted under these newer operating systems. This issue applies to both The Age of Kings and The Conquerors Expansion.
DirectDrawFix will allow you to resolve this specific issue by applying required compatibility fixes to the registry. Elevation is required for this application to perform its updates. Windows XP and earlier operating systems are already compatible and do not require this update.
System Requirements
Windows Vista or later operating system
Elevated user account privileges |

1. extract the archive anywhere
2. run the app
3. fix age2_x1.exe (or empires2.exe, etc.)
4. close the app
5. delete the app and the archive
That's it :) |

I run this fix but took the file "age2_x2" (I will remember), instead of "age2_x1" and now I can't start AoFE... I just get a black window (which will turn grey if I click on it), where the window were I could chose "Play" where. I don't know how to fix this. I have uninstalled everything and deleted the remaining files and even the AoE II folder and installed everything again but when I try to run the launcher for AoFE I get the same black window... Does anybody have any solution to this ?
I've got Windows 7, 64-bit. By the way, my original AoK doesn't work and didn't even before this fix but AoFE did. (AoK goes to starting a Random map but then it crashes.) (Now I wanted to try on this computer. Otherwise I use to play on a computer with XP and that works fine, even with AoFE.)[Edited on 02/03/13 @ 05:51 PM]

For normal installs, these are the exes inside your Microsoft Games folder:
- Conquerors Expansion: Age of Empires II\age2_x1\age2_x1.exe
- Age of Kings: Age of Empires II\empires2.exe[Edited on 08/15/13 @ 03:23 AM]
