Did you try running the program on another computer (if possible)? Perhaps see if it works with another system.
What kind of screen do you get when you try to load? Does it go black and then crash? Or does it just not respond. What version of AOE2 are you trying to install, Kings or the Conquerors Expansion?
You can also try reinstalling the game.
Fellow AOE fan.

I don't have another computer, just my laptop.
It has previously worked on another computer, but that was Win95 (and I think I ran it on XP once as well, yet another computer
)
I was trying the Age of Kings
Yeah, I can try reinstalling it, but it seems so strange that nothing happens whatsoever.
The computer does that "blink" which it does sometimes when about to start doing something, but nothing else,
no back screen, no message, no signs of it "working" with anything. It just gives up without really trying
I had the same problem with CBTCD ... maybe my old games just don't like me anymore

It's possible that it may be a Direct X issue. You can try downloading DirectX 9 and see if this resolves the problem. Generally it's not a hard game to get working as I have used it on many different machines (XP, Vista, Win 7 and even Windows 8, 10).
If both of those games are not working as you say, it's possible there may be a hardware conflict on your machine?
I see you said you'd addressed the color issue and that doesn't help. Maybe you want to turn your desktop resolution down to 800x600 with 256 colors, then launch the game. If this doesn't help then you may want to install DirectX 9 and see if that helps.
