I thought this information would prove helpful for people who wish to play Age of Kings or the Conquerors expansion in Microsoft Vista. When playing Aok In vista the Graphic colours are distorted although the game is still playable. A fix for this is to put Vista into 16Bit colour before launching the game Start > Control panel > Personalization > Desktop Setting > 16Bit > ok. Now the Game graphics should look correct, but just remember to turn 32Bit colour back on when exiting.
