AOE 3 Help


Question Posted Wednesday January 16 2008, 5:58 am

I looked on a AOE3(Age of Empires III/3) help website, (because my aoe kept crashing within a few minutes into the game), and it told me:

Driver controlled Anti Aliasing will try and force the game into AA mode. This can cause the game to become unstable. Turn off anti-aliasing (or set it to application controlled) from the video driver control panel.

Can someone tell me where the "video driver control panel" is??

Thanks so much in advance!

Additional info, added Wednesday January 16 2008, 7:00 am:
I have browsed other sites and some have said it varies between which driver you have:

well i think i have a :

Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile Report!

And i think i have found the control panel, but it does not say anything about Anti Aliasing just:

Asyncronous Flip
Triple Buffering
Flipping Policy
Depth Buffer Bit Depth
Force S3TC Texture COmpression
Force FXT1 Texture Compression
Driver Memory Footprint
Texture Color Depth
Anistropic Filtering

PLEASE HELP, THANKS

**If you have a laptop, then you can't buy a grahpics card for it. Laptops aren't meant to play games. If you have a desktop, bring it to a tech place and let them install one for you.**

You are using onboard graphics; you don't have a video card. Hardly any games will work for you. There is nothing you can do about it except buy a graphics card.

Anti-aliasing is not your problem here. That is a very rare problem that only happens when you actually have a graphics card, which you don't.
