Cannot run older pc games

[titas1040]

tryed to play age of empires on window 7 and the display is blotched with red dots everywhere in the game. I can play the game but it is really ugly to look at can you help

Right-click on the shortcutfor the game, and then select properties, compatibility, and check "run in 256 colors"

Might work ^

You might also try setting compatibility mode to XP. Running a full update of DirectX drivers to get all the earlier bugfixes sometimes helps with older games, too.
