Don't ask me what's the difference between the two but I use whichever allows me to watch replays downloaded from, DO download the userpatch for enhanced functionality (especially higher resolutions and increased FPS). Also, once inside the AoC folder you can use 'AOCCONFIG.exe' to switch between 1.0e and 1.0c patch. Which is inside this directory if you followed the default settings on your 64-bit Windows 7 system.C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Games/Age of Empires II/age2x1(ignore the forwards slash as the comments doesn't allow the backslash)Not the 'empires2.exe' which launches the AoK. Which too, can be downloaded from the above site, though the one included in the torrent also works.And remember, to play the conquerors you need to run the 'age2x1.exe' from inside the folder named by the same name 'age2x1'. You can get it from here, it's the first oneEven the 'Conquerors' expansion requires you to install the '1.0e' no cd patch. (I didn't have a problem the first time either)To play the 'Age of Kings' you need to install the '2.0a' no cd patch. Before applying the patch, running the game right away after installation will take you to the game's home screen and might even let you move around the settings, but, you won't be able to play because it will pop up a message that you need to insert the cd to play.I re-installed it after my system broke down a few days ago, so, I can confirm this copy is working. Not the 'Age of Kings'(as the patch included only works for AoC). copy is working fine, problem lies either within your system or with your installation procedure.Do note that only 'Conquerors' will work. Today, on Windows 7 & 8, the only problem you will face is the garbled colours when running it.Use 'Gameranger' or 'Voobly' for LAN. Why shouldn't it? Something tells me you never played AoC multi. Good ol' AoE2 days will come course, it does. Grab the file I mentioned above (or get it on YouTube, then convert it into mp3) and point userpatch to it's location. Just a heads up, the userpatch allows you to play any file as the background music.
