First Of All Never Use Vista For Gaming 

Try Changing Your Graphics Settings (Altough It Wont Work)

Try Running Same Game On Other Operating System (XP)

First Of All Never Use Vista For Gaming 

As usual you have no idea what your talking about. I doubt you can name a single legitimate reason to "never use vista for gaming".

Try Changing Your Graphics Settings (Altough It Wont Work)

This doesn't even make any sense. Second, if it won't work, why mention it? It's like saying, "oh, your PC won't power up? Oh ok, try putting a plug in your bathtub, even though it won't work.

What makes it even better is it might work to change the graphics detail in the game to other values, as with resolution. Of course I know the specific settings rather then just blithly saying "change ur graphics settins"

Try Running Same Game On Other Operating System (XP)

This might not be possible.

Anyway, with regards to AOE2, I can play it just fine, with some visual artifacts from transparent layers on the ocean and grass and so forth. But I've never had units dissapear. I assume your loading from a saved game, correct?

actually no, I just usually own some Computer players get off, and later do the same thing again except the units and buildings are invisible.

Would Windows 7 help at all? Cause I really dont want to revert to xp. (getting the OS on ebay if possible)

Yes it will. Try running the game in compatibility mode. If that doesn't work, then try virtual pc. And if that doesn't work either get help or use some freespace from your HDD, and put windows xp on it. Good luck
