Rise Of Nations Crashes on Windows 7

Hi,

Have someone tried rise of nations on aao in windows 7?
If someone, pls tell me the solution of this problem - "Graphics services failed to initialize. Please make sure that your video card and drivers are correctly installed, and are compatible with Rise Of Nations."

Please Help ME Out Guys,

You gotta change your resolution to 1024x768. The game is too old to support the native resolution of the AAO - 1024x600. Try it

 

Hi,

You said right, but i can't change it in Windows 7 or even i have tried the a a1ctl but it also failed.
& i have also searched & find a file of the game in that file we can change the resolution. but it failed.

Now please help me.

Thanks,

What exactly do you mean it failed? I don't know much about Windows 7, but I'm 100% sure there is an option for you to change to resolution to 1024x768.

 

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. So, I want to tell that the Windows 7 is beta & its uses the intel pre realease wdm beta drivers, So because of this the WINDOWS 7 Does not change the reso from 1024x600 to 1024x768. Then about the game, so when the game starts it shows the big huge official videos & then says this message -

"Graphics services failed to initialize. Please make sure that your video card and drivers are correctly installed, and are compatible with Rise Of Nations."


So, i'm saying that is there any option to change the game resolution from 1024x768 to 1024x600 or 800x600. & If you can know or find a way to do this, PLEASE TELL ME.

Thanks,

Since Windows 7 doesn't allow it, I guess your only option is to revert back to XP.

 

OK! Thanks.
