Age of Empire 3 ( Game Solution for black screen )

I've installed the game Age of Empire 3 or some of you call it as Age of Empire III , War Chiefs and Asian Dynasties . Both of them when I run it , during the intro movie the game was fine but when the intro ended and I ended up at the main menu , the screen beginning to twich , and the screen turned black with some other colours blinking . So I finally googled for some solution and found 1 that I've tested and I'm playing the game now without any problems . I know the game is an old game but I just suddenly have the urge to try to solve the problem because I bought this game few years back but haven't been able to play it .

For your info , I've had the same problem when I was using Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit .

This solution I've tested it with my current Windows which is Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit .

The Solution ,

1. Go to the game's .exe file eg. AOF3.exe (the one you click to launch the game)
2. Right click on it and go to properties .
3. Go to the Compatibility tab .
4. On the Compatibility Mode box , tick on the 'Run this program in compatibility mode for:' box.
5. And then select 'Windows XP ( Service Pack 2 )'

Then try and run the game . If it works for you then congrats!! If it didn't then too bad . You have to google harder!

I think it works the same for the problems faced by Age of Empires 2 .

P/S: Leave a comment if someone happens to read this blog and tried this solution and it worked. Even if it doesn't , just flame me , please , this blog is almost dead , I've been ignoring it for 2 years and my 1st post is about a game's problem's solution .

Theme Park Hidden Camera(Conclusion)..

Did any of you read my recent post about the hidden cam in a theme park? Well after some feedback by fellow bloggers and more knowledgeable adult, I have been drawn to a conclusion that the photos are from Malaysia. Many of you even guessed the correct place of the hidden camera. But the other fact is that these pictures are OLD. Very very old. It started to spread around 6-7 years ago. Which is wayyyyyy before I started to use e-mails and stuffs and they've changed their changing room. Which means it is safe to change in it? I think so..

I hereby apologize for bringing up this OLD OLD OLD topic and caused some of you to worry and also not forgetting that I also apologize to ALL theme parks in the whole world.

But ladies.. you still have to beware about the changing rooms or toilets..where ever place that you reveal your skin or body. Guys, you too have to becarefull as you may not know.. It may happen to us someday...

RandomThoughts:About my original post, I won't delete it but I will modify it based on the conclusion and feedbacks and change it from a report kinda post to a rather educating post. If some of you thinks that I should delete the post, please tell me coz I am willing to if you guys thinks that it is necessary.
