AOE3 game prob

[TeddyBear08]

hi,

I recently purchased Age of Empires 3, and I have installed it fully on my computer. however, when i double click it, a box comes up saying 'Protection Stub has stopped working. click close to terminate the program.'

i would like to know what this means, and how i can resolve this. I am running Windows Vista Basic, and all my other pc requirments match. what can i do?

Thx
