The forum

Im a Mac user and have been trying to make AOE 3 work for a while on steam. I got to the point on entering the product key but then was told i couldt run the mfc42.dll. Thats ok though cause i used playonmacs configure> install components to fix that and now it launches but not well. There are no error messages and the sound plays but whatever comes up is there for less then a second and then does the animation for bieng minimized. The sound continues to play but i cant ineract with anything. Everytime it happens i have to restart the computer cause it wont even let me exit.

Im not computer literate so please if you have a solution explain carefully.
