I recently bought a Mac because I understood I could run Windows and Mac OS X on the same computer.
I installed Windows XP SP2 on a partition of my iMac's hard drive. So far I can play Civ IV and Sid Meier's Pirates without trouble (okay Civ IV closed unexpectedly on me once). Every time I've tried to play Age of Empires II I get the following message.
"Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw."
So far I reinstalled the Boot Camp drivers for Windows XP. And I reinstalled Age of Empires II. But still I get the same error message.
What's going on here. If Civ IV can initialize the graphics system, why can't Age of Empires II? I've searched this forum and can't seem to find anyone with a similar problem. Any suggestions on what to do or how to troubleshoot this?
