It would help if you didn't snip out your original post, containing details
of the problem:

"my problem is when i run age of empires ii, a message says "Could not
initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are
compatible with DirectDraw""

Just to post "nothing?" is begging to be ignored....

I don't run Vista but like lurking in this group just for kicks.... My
immediate thought would be: well, have you checked that your video card and
driver are compatible with DirectDraw?
