"This computer appears to have a 0MB video card" - AOE3

[Timberline]

I just bought Age of Empires 3 for Windows, but I'm having little luck getting it to work.

I have a Mac Pro, and I installed AOE3 through boot camp on to Windows Vista Ultimate. It installed fine, but when I try to open it up, I get this message:

Initialization Failed. Direct3D initialization failed. Please check the log file for more information.

Age of Empires III requires at least a 64 MB video card. This computer appears to have a 0 MB video card. If you wish to upgrade your computer, please contact your computer manufacturer for any necessary assistance.

Any ideas?

It appears Vista its not recognizing your Mac Pro's video card. Why this is, I do not know. If you continue to have problems they do offer AoE 3 for Macintosh

Lol, That's pretty good. Are there any compatibility modes you can run it in? What video card do you have? Maybe your card is... too new (could be ). Look around and see if there are any patches that might fix this behavior.
