Just for the record.
Tried boot disk on different computers, systems ranging from win 98 to 2000 to Millennium to XP : it is always the same as above : AOTP no sound, AOE goes black when plane is hit.
Tried old boot disc by Sierra in Win 98 ; doesn't work, no available memory.
A pity; AOE is full of add ons like Aces Over Russia, but there's no way to get it working.
Interestingly, when I go DOS via Boot Disk or DosBox my (normally Italian) keyboard changes...
This means I have to type Ascii ALT-58 to get " : "....
But on laptops Ascii doesn't work...

Sigh

Hi Folks,

I used to play AOE on my pentium 2 win 98. but now I I have an athalon or something like that....I'm not computer savy at all....the boot disk keeps trying to load to LL and has no options to change it. I have read some of the posts and will try install.exe and also something about ascii alt-58 and hold my face just right and hope fer the best but Ill probubly be back with dumb questions
