How to fix: “You are logged in from a region we do not allow someone to play from.”

November 24, 2011

“You are logged in from a region we do not allow someone to play from.”

If you look at the log files you can see, after you start the Launcher it will download an update in the background. Patience is a virtue.

So just be patient, the launcher will restart automatically to finish the update. This is all being done in background so you won’t notice anything. You can check the log files

How to: Fix Scrolling Bug In Age of Empires 2

April 25, 2011

I have researched this problem a little bit and it is obvious that it is a conflict with the Microsoft Zune software. My guess is that it has to do with the Zune driver because everything I tried with Process/Services did not work.

Option 1:
Uninstall the Zune software.

Option 2 (if you want to keep the Zune software like me):
Restart your computer but don’t open the Zune software. This bug only occurs after you run the Zune software for the first time.

Enjoy.

How to: Dock Windows

November 12, 2009

This was a new feature added to Windows 7. You can dock images onto three different spots on the screen and they will resize: You can dock the window to the top so it will maximize fully or you can dock them left or right to the screen to make them tile vertically in the middle of the screen.

To do this just grab a window and move it all the way to the top/left/right and let the mouse go again. Making working a lot easier and faster!
