Yes, AOE2 works on W7 (if you kill explorer.exe), but that's not a point - when I use W7 laptop, my mother has only that 98 machine. Well, Kolekcja Klasyki version is already patched, isn't it? .-. Game automatically changes res and depth. Windows 98 is the best AV - how can I accidentally get a virus for 98 today? So, no, nothing should disturb. Game hangs after intro appears, I also tried deleting AVI folder - same thing. None default settings (well, it's only two settings - volume and resolution, 800x600 by default) can causes problems.
