Weird problem with Age of Mythology

Well I install Age of Mythology monday on my Compaq 7000 series SE and when i started age of Mythology everything was working except their were no words. I changed the resolution to the highest the monitor I am using goes (800X600) and it showed some words but they were mostly scrambled. When I went to choose the gods it showed Z, H, L, hor. For those Zeus, Hades, Loki, and Thor. When I go into the game everything works alright except the words are scrambled (most everything but the unit names). Could someone help me with this problem?

 

What's your OS, processor, video card, and other pertinent info about your pc?

 

Compaq Presario 7000 SE series
Windows ME
TNT2 Graphics Card
128 MB RAM
1200 MHz AMD Athlon Processor

 

Okay, I'm sure the system meets the requirement for the game. Is your DirectX current?

 

Yes, I am using DirectX 8.1. The game works fine. I can start it and play it build stuff but it doesn't display words. It doesn't display text. I have no idea why. On my other computer with XP it works perfectly but on my one with ME it doesn't want to display any words.

 

Okay, would recommend you check around for any options or settings that may be cause this. Make sure you read the "Read Me" file as well as any instuction manual. If still no go, check out their web site for any support help.

 

I checked the Readme and their site. But it does not say anything about this. I have a post in their forums but I posted here too because this site is faster
