Age of Empires II won"t work with VPC2007 and Windows 2000

Hi,

I have read that others (especially Virtual PC Guy) have managed to get this
game running.

It installs correctly from the physical CD of the host system. I then try
to run the game, and get asked for the CD in the drive (which is there). If
I eject and reinsert the CD, then rerun the game, I get errors with
empires2.exe

I'm running Win 2000 pro, 256Mb RAM, with a fixed size harddisc with VPC
additions installed. The host is an IBM T43p laptop with 1Gb ram. Hardware
virtualisation isn't possible.

Can anyone post some suggestions of how they got things running?

Thanks,

Leref

Doesn't AOE2 use cd copy protection? You may want to go to
gamecopyworld and get a patch for that.
