Issues with old game crashing

[coldkut]

Hello, I recently installed and tried playing a semi-old game called Age of Empires II The Conquerors. Unfortunately every time I go to play the game it crashes out after the splash loading screen. I run a windows 7 64bit system and the event viewer i have gives me this info.
