I have wiped my computer, new 500g ssd, and reinstalled win 7 (64). I had no problem running ACW under the same os before. I have attempted to install on a second drive which I had done before. Now when I try to install it the install hangs right after the desktop icon appears. I have tried compatibility modes / admin rights etc with no resolve. I installed BoA2 with no problem. Any thoughts?

I suspect it's trying to run AGESettings to get your Serial input.

Well, I tied those items, turned off anti-virus and such with no luck. I do agree that it seems to be hanging on AGESettings. It was no prob for BoA2. I will try installing my other age programs. I was hoping to avoid re-installing the computer again. Other games and software have installed and run fine.
You can do one of two things:
1. Use explorer to navigate to the installation directory and directly click on/run AGESettings
or
2. Continue your navigation to the subfolder \ACW\Settings and use a text editor [NotePad, etc] to open General.opt
In that file near the bottom you'll see:
Type in your serial # [case dependant, with hyphens], save and exit.
Run AACW...

Sorry for the delay, was on travel.
We had a few time this issue, caused by a driver problem (audio, DVD writer, etc.), not a video driver.
Do you know how to terminate process? We can try that, you would be surprised about how weird solutions may be sometime. You shut down a DVD update driver, and suddenly something else works. Contact me by mail, I'll send you a program to get a report on your processes: pocus@ageod.net
