ermm. this is a question for the person who made this video.

I just tried a website called can you run it, the website shows you whether or not the game for the pc will run on your computer or not. I tried it and it said it wouldnt work in the graphics part. I tried it wit another game called civilization which i have and it said the same again but civilization plays fine on my laptop. would that mean that age of empires 3 work for my laptop.

Thank you if you answer my question

i am the person that made this vid. Well just try this game out on your laptop... and do the things I showed in this vid. If it doesn't work then maybe theres something wrong with your laptop.

Did u disable the user account control (UAC)?

To do this go in Control Panel and in the search bar type in "UAC"

Click on it and then there is an option for turning it on or off.

Once you turn it off it should work.

@stefandegeweldmaker oh. a 2 year old comment. i didn't download it because i bought it for under a fiver. if it's a choice between a couple of quid and adding support for an industry, i'll do it. i only download games that i don't think deserve my money, like call of duty, wanted to try it out, but didn't want to give any support for their shitty games, which, turned out to be shitty as expected.
