Why can't I start up Age of Empires lll

Hi all
Can anyone tell me why I can't run the new Age of Empires lll on my iMac? has this thing really that old and cannot support this game? My nine year old is anxious to start. Here is what it says when I try to launch the game:
"Age of Empires lll requires a CPU running a 1150 MHz of faster."
-or-
"Your main video card must have at least 64MB of VRAM to play Age of Empires lll"

Hello Bitti and welcome to discussions,
I am sorry - Your computer is just not up to the job!
System Requirements:
G4/G5 or Intel processor running at 1.4GHz or faster
Mac OS X v10.3.9 or higher
512MB RAM
64 MB Video Card (with support for hardware T & L). 56K dial-up Internet access or LAN for online play
Regards
Ian

  • Hard drive failure (why can't I start up with boot disk)?

    Running OS 10.4.6. I was getting flashing question mark at startup. Tried starting with Disk Warrior holding down "C" key. Got Apple logo, but then screen frooze with horizontal lines across screen.
    Rebooted, held mouse to eject disk. Tried TechTool Pro disk. Would not boot from that either (got circle with slash logo I think).
    Finally was able to boot with Tiger install disk.
    Ran disk utility from Tiger disk. My internal hard drive showed up in red letters and said "failing"
    OK.....I can understand that.....I guess my hard drive crashed (on my 2 year old Powerbook...oh well)
    But, why can't I start up with any of my boot disks (Disk Warrior, TechTool) only the Tiger install disk. Also the Panther and Jaguar disks will NOT start it...only the Tiger disk works. One more thing I'm wondering....I connected my external firewire drive that has a boot partition on it that I have started up with in the past....and it won't boot my laptop either.
    Any ideas? Thanks for any insight. Guess I'll head to the genius bar tomorrow. At least my extended warranty is still good (I think).

    Here is what the outcome was:
    I took my Powerbook into Apple Genius bar (still under 3 yr. AppleCare), he determined that my hard drive had crashed. He shipped it for me to be repaired.
    It came back with a message attached saying that the source of the problem was my 3rd party RAM, which was a 1 GB module. The note said that the memory had been removed...and that in some cases like this the removed memory will be sent back to the customer and will be in the box somewhere. I checked and it wasn't there. The "Get Info" for my system said I was now running on 512 mb instead of the usual 1.5 GB. The note said that this 3rd party RAM had caused the hard drive to fail, so the hard drive had been replaced.
    I ordered a new 1GB RAM module from Apple for $300, didn't want to take a chance on 3rd party again. But....when it arrived, I went to install it....and my 1GB 3rd party module was in the slot....it just wasn't pushed all the way in I guess. I pushed it in firmly, closed up the computer, started it, and the "Info" read 1.5 GB again. I ended up removing the 512mb module and replacing that with the new 1GB one I bought from Apple. So now I have 2GB of memory and and extra 512 that I can't use. It has been running fine ever since (more than 2 months)
    Can bad RAM really make a hard drive go bad?
    I wonder why they said they had removed the RAM, but it actually had not been removed (at least not completely)

  • Why can't i start my oracle 9.2.0.1.0 under Redhat linux 8.0??

    When i installing oracle, after copying the files, it telled me "install successfully" , but when it in the procedure: "Linking Oracle9i Database 9.2.0.1.0", it stop and auto exit.
    But I think i should have installed finish. So I try to start it. As below:
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> connect / as sysdba
    ERROR:
    ORA-09925: Unable to create audit trail file
    Linux Error: 2: No such file or directory
    Additional information: 9925
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    How can I start it?
    Is that because I hadn't set the value of "/proc/sys/kernel/sem" before I install oracle? It's original value is "250 3200 32 128", I don't know what it should be under Redhat Linux 8.0.
    Can anybody help me?
    thanks.

    I followed the directions here
    http://www.puschitz.com/OracleOnLinux.shtml
    Using this I was able to get 9201 installed on both SuSE8.1 and RedHat8.0.
    On RH8, You have to hand modify the ins_ctx.mk per his instructions and up the value in /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax per his instructions. I did not hit the binutils issue. Other failures are probably missing rpms, as he describes.

    are you using "startxfce4" and "startkde"?
    if so startxfce4 is smart enough to start X when you run it, starkde doesn't. so choices are, use something like GDM which starts X and presents a login inscreen which you can pick the WM to use. OR edit the .xinitrc file in your home folder and at the end of the file replace the uncommented "exec ____" (generally like windowmaker or fluxbox) with "exec startkde" or "exec openbox" then use "startx" to launch.
    also
    for future reference the term is windowmanager, WindowMaker is a specific windowmanager.

  • Why can't I start my computer?

    After 4 years. Now when I try to start my Stationary Window 7, I get a error message that it can't find any operating system on my computer. So how can I make it find it and start again or do I have to move over to Linux. I have program I don't want to lose
    that I work with and have no chance to re-install, becouse I can't find all the codes I paid for. Please Help Me

    This is an EXCELLENT question. I finally got my Power PC running again, (since apple no longer supports PPC's AT ALL it takes longer when something goes wrong with everything out of stock), and I'm totally frustrated that I can't either put a ton of short videos in a play list and have it randomly play JUST LIKE a bunch of music. ***? how ******** is it that they didn't say "let's let music and videos play together in a play list if someone wants, the visualizer will just go blank (or play lava lamp type ****) while the musics on till the next vid in the cue..." or AT LEAST  let a playlist comprised ENTIRELY of movies only play if there's some BIG ISSUE with the music/movie mix playlists, wtfe. This is just frustrating and OBVIOUS.

  • Why can't I start Mac after installing Windows using boot camp???

    I'm new to Mac.... Have installed Windows 7 through Bootcamp... Well, I tried to at least!!  I can now only get into Windows every time I start the mac up.... What have I done wrong - and how do I fix it!?!

    Thanks Vinmar.... I can't see anything down on the bottom fit of my screen, apart from the time, date, connectivity, speaker volume etc. am I looking in the wrong place??
    The restart in Mac OS X icon (a grey diamond) will only appear after you've installed the Boot Camp drivers. If you installed the drivers, try clicking on the sideways triangle to show any hidden system tray icons.  You can also use the boot camp control panel to restart in Mac OS X.
    For how many partitions you have, you should be able to see those in the Disk Utility application in Mac OS X or the Disk Management app in Windows.  Be careful not to delete any of them.  If you want to remove a partition, I'd use the Boot Camp Utility to do that.  Nore as well that OS X 10.7 and above add a hidden recovery partition to your drive that you won't see in Disk Utility but will see in the Windows app. 
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers,

  • TS1717 Why can I not start Itunes? I keep getting a message that it stopped working/was stopped because of DEP, and I can't get DEP off to launch itunes.

    I have Itunes installed on my PC, but now I can no longer open it. If I open it, I get the same message each time:  Itunes has stopped working, a problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  As soon as I close that message by clicking on "Close Program" which is my only option, I get a second message stating that to help protect my computer, Data Execution Prevention has closed Itunes.  So I read up on help section and attempted to turn off DEP for Itunes, but I get the message that I cannot turn it off for this program.  I attempted to repair, uninstall, reinstall Itunes and I keep getting the same message.  I also logged in as a guest on my computer as a site suggested and see if the problem exists there as well, it does, it gives me the same message.  Please help!
    Thanks!

    You're welcome! Glad you got things sorted out.

  • Why can't I start the Time Machine Application?

    This is the first time I tried to restore files using time machine.  But there is a question mark over the Time Machine Icon.  When I click on it nothing happens at all.  I cannot start Time Machine.  The HD was connected and I backed up some files just a few minutes ago.
    Would appreciate some help.

    Look in the Applications folder for the Time Machine application. If you don't find it there, then do a Spotlight search for it in case you moved it.
