I got to work in windows 7 pro. had that problem at first but just keep at it. try installing the patch first too. There is a problem when playing custom game four kingdoms though. once you get to to try to promote your knight to marquis (I'm probably not spelling that right) you have to have 20 rich city buildings but my game only recongnizes 16 and i have way more than at least 25. maybe ubisoft can help hint hint hint

Maybe ubsoft can help hint hint hint

Even easier is to install Patch 1.71 before you try to run the game, as that patch removes the Tages DRM and also allows you to play without the disc.

When I tried installling this patch it reported that it was not compatible with my version of Gold Edition of The Settlers Rise of an Empire.

Ok, more info.
I found an old posting that says to delete "s6patch.ini" which I did and the patch installed.
But the game will not play. It just sits on the opening screen.
I give up!

Same thing happened to me, then I put the dvd in and restarted the computer, seems to work alright now!
