D. Getting Help
Note: Age of Empires Expansion includes the online Help for Age of
Empires 1.0, but it has not been updated with the new features and
changes in Age of Empires Expansion.
E. DirectX Troubleshooting
DirectX 5.0 or later must be installed on your computer before you can
play Age of Empires Expansion. If you do not have DirectX installed on
your computer and you chose not to install DirectX when you installed
Age of Empires, you will receive the message "A required .dll file,
Dplayx.dll, was not found." To fix this problem, reinstall Age of
Empires and install DirectX 5.0.
If Age of Empires installed DirectX but could not update your video
drivers to be compatible with DirectX 5.0, when you restart your
computer you will receive the message "Age of Empires could not
initialize DirectX. Make sure that DirectX 5.0 or higher is installed
and contact your hardware manufacturer for a video driver update." To
fix this problem, either get updated video drivers from your video
adapter manufacturer or install DirectX in safe mode, which will
replace the video drivers.
1. Copy the DirectX directory from the Age of Empires 1.0 CD to your
desktop.
2. Click the Start button, and then click Shut Down.
3. Select Restart, and then click OK.
4. When "Starting Windows 95" appears on the screen, press and hold
down the F8 key until you see a Windows Startup Menu.
5. When you are prompted to enter a choice, select Safe Mode (number
3), and then press ENTER.
6. After Windows starts in Safe Mode, open the DirectX folder on
your desktop, and then double-click Dxsetup.exe to install DirectX.
You should also check with your video or sound card manufacturer for
the latest DirectX-compatible drivers.
F. Gameplay Troubleshooting
Saving Games -- You cannot name a saved game using certain operating
system terms, such as COM1, LPT1, etc.
To transfer your campaigns, move the *.cpx files from the Campaign
folder where Age of Empires is installed to the same location on
another computer. Then transfer all of the scenarios in that campaign
and the Game0.nfo file as explained below.
To transfer your scenarios, move the *.scx files from the Scenario
folder where Age of Empires is installed to the same location on
another computer.

L. Welcome to the Best in Online Gaming!
Before you can install Age of Empires Expansion, you must have Age of
Empires 1.0, 1.0A, or 1.0B installed. When you install Age of Empires
Expansion, your version of Age of Empires is automatically upgraded to
1.0B.
You can connect only to multiplayer games created with the same Age of
Empires version you are using. If you are playing Age of Empires
Expansion, only Expansion games appear in the multiplayer list.
However, if you are playing the original Age of Empires, version 1.0,
1.0A, and 1.0B games appear in the multiplayer list. Remember that
installing Age of Empires Expansion automatically upgrades your
version of Age of Empires to 1.0B, so you can only join version 1.0B
games if you play the original Age of Empires.
G. Video Troubleshooting
Black Screen Areas -- Some video adapters may cause black areas on the
game screen. To fix this problem, you can add the Mfill parameter to
the command line in the Age of Empires Expansion shortcut. For
information about adding parameters to the command line, see "Command
Line Parameters" under "Performance Troubleshooting" later in this
Readme file.
Mouse Pointer -- Some video adapters may cause the mouse pointer to
disappear if you change the in-game screen resolution or re-enter the
game by pressing ALT+TAB. To fix this problem, contact your video
adapter manufacturer for the latest drivers.
Rage Pro Turbo 2X Video Adapters -- Rage Pro Turbo 2X video adapters
may only allow you to view the game in 640 x 480 screen resolution.
H. Audio Troubleshooting
I. Performance Troubleshooting
You can add parameters to the Age of Empires Expansion command line to
customize startup or resolve problems with certain hardware
configurations.
1. If you are using Windows 95, click the Start button, point to
Settings, click Taskbar, click Start Menu Programs, click Advanced,
and then double-click Programs.
-or-
If you are using Windows NT, right-click the Start button, select
Open All Users, and then double-click Programs.
2. Double-click Microsoft Games, and then double-click Age of
Empires Expansion.
3. Right-click the Age of Empires Expansion shortcut, click
Properties, and then click Shortcut.
4. In the Target text box, type the name of the parameter after the
existing command line text. For example, if you add the parameters
NoStartup and NoTerrainSound, the command line will read: "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Empires\Empiresx.exe" Nostartup
Noterrainsound. Parameters must be separated by a space;
capitalization is not important.
640, 800, 1024 -- Sets the screen resolution to 640 ´ 480, 800 ´ 600,
or 1024 ´ 768. For example, 640 sets the screen resolution to 640 ´
480, 800 sets the screen resolution to 800 ´ 600, and 1024 sets the
screen resolution to 1024 ´ 768. You can also set the screen
resolution using the Game Settings option on the Menu button. If you
use a command line parameter to set the screen resolution, the game
always starts at that resolution, even if you use Game Settings to
choose another resolution.
Mfill -- Fixes horizontal line problems and black screen areas that
may occur with some video adapter configurations.
Msync -- Fixes lock-up problem that may occur with some SoundBlaster
AWE configurations.
MidiMusic -- Plays midi music instead of Redbook Audio music from the
Age of Empires Expansion CD.
Multiplayer Chat -- The chat commands !mute and !nomute now affect
only your computer, not all players' computers.
Serial or Modem Connections -- You may have difficulty joining a
multiplayer game or you may be dropped from a game before it starts
when playing over a serial connection or a modem connection. To fix
this problem, all players should install DirectPlay 6.0A.
