| Howdy, last night I recieved a copy of the game from a friend who had purchased it awhile back but never actualy got around to opening it. So I went home got everything installed and was psyched up to play the night away. Unfortunatly apon double clicking the game icon on my desktop I recieved an error stating " Your operating system does not meet system requirements for this product". Now I'm running Windows 7 so I'm not quite sure how this is possible but anyway I've been scanning around different forums for a bit and noticed that there are people running the game on Windows 7 but the only reply to my threads asking how sent me here. So I was wondering if someone could shed some light on this for me? Any help would be very much appreciated.

| Nightwraith, Welcome to the forums.
Hmm...there is no way this could've happened in normal terms - but you already know that  . May I know which version of Windows 7 you use and whether it uses Starforce? Anymore information would've been useful. Also, Try running the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP or anyother Operating system. Try making the game run as an administrator. If all else fails, please download RoS mod and try to play. Do not worry we can think of some way to make it work.

| I'm running Windows Ultimate 32 bit. As for Starforce I'm not sure. I could try and attach a dxdiag if you think that would be of any use? I've tried compatibility mode for all previous versions of Windows and I still get the same error. Also tried running as administrator and still no luck. Whats the RoS mod and where would I be able to find it?

| Hi, Welcome to the Forums
Sorry it took me some time to get back to you. But what version do you have? Steam, Retail, 3CD? Which one exactly?
You should replace it in such a way as to have the "engine.exe" file inside the "Data" folder. The mod has a new engine and starcraft is no longer needed
However, if you want to play the original, you can try updating the starcraft drivers. If that fails then just PM me

| 3CD i think. i found it in some of my moms games, and its just in a jewel case with 3 cds. no book or anything. and the game registry number is just on a sticker on it. i found the "engine.exe" in the data folder and the game almost played. a window popped up but it was black and the hoae icon popped up in the windows toolbar at the bottom of the screen. but that was it. i figured something happened and decided to uninstall/reinstall the game again cuz i was messing with so much stuff. and when i reinstalled it the "engine.exe" was gone. after all that i gave up cuz i had reinstalled it multiple times and messed with everything for hours. i probably messed it all up anyways for i am not a computer savy person when it comes to all this. haha.

| You need to delete everything and install it correctly if everything is messed up.
In HeroesOfAE\Data , put the "startengine.exe" and "d3dengine.dll" from this file
http://hoae.ucoz.net/load....-1-0-16
Run the startengine.exe as administrator. Your game should run. If not, just inform me, there are some other ways .

| Hey,
Well you should check whether your version has 1.1 patch or not. This is easy, check for a file named "patch01.gs1" in the Data folder of the game where you have engine.exe
If you do, you have v1.1, if not, you need to upgrade it.
If you have v1.1, then download the Rise of Sols game from the website and follow the instructions in it.
Start the game afterwards using engine.exe
Inform me if you are having trouble...
Peace
