Hello and thank you for your time.
I have bought and installed a new copy of age of empires gold edition which includes the original and the expansion RoR. While they installed and reinstalled successfully whenever I click on single player, scenario editor or even after trying to launch a multiplayer game with bots I am greeted with: "you must insert a game cd to play a single player game, and then restart age of empires." This happens for both the expansion and the original game. The menu and everything else works fine.
Solutions I have tried
-Changing compatibility under properties to all possible options (windows 95,98 etc.) then restarting.
-Reinstalling having done the above.
-Downloading Virtual Box Oracle and making a windows 98 virtual machine and inserting an ISO image i made of the disk with project iso, to which I am told : "FATAL could not read from boot medium system halted"
I am pretty derpy with technology so I probably just messed that^ up but I have also heard advice about a "crack" which I didnt try. Anyway if I was on the right track but just couldn't make it work let me know or even better if there are any other solutions I really appreciate the help.
Thankye
