All they have is a FAQ page, with 6 questions-none of which apply to my problem....
I wrote an email I was GONNA send to microsofts tech support, only to learn that..... THEY HAVE NO EMAIL ADRESS TO SEND IT TO: JUST A WORTHLESS FAQ!!

I'll post the email here, hoping some one might be able to help:
I have been playing Rise of Nations with NO problems for a week. Today I accidentally deleted some of the files, so I reinstalled it.
When I try to run the desktop icon, the game starts and IMMEDIATELY minimizes-I am unable to open it.
When I try to run rise.exe off the CD, it refuses to do anything-just sits there.
When I try to run nation.exe off the CD the load screen for the game starting comes up, then it closes and gives me the following errors:
Error before Translatable code translated_string.xml not loaded. File missing?
Error before Translatable code internal_string.xml not loaded. File missing?
Then it says :
Exception, gathering game data.
THEN:
Warning Serious Watson Error 7
I have been playing the game for a week with NO problems at all-perfect performance on the highest settings. I’ve tried re-installing twice and even cleared my registry of EVERYTHING having to do with rise of nations before I installed it a third time.
I have a geoforce 3, an athalon, tons of ram and windows 98.
I finally installed it a fourth time, repatched it, and THEN it worked…… once.
Whenever I run rise.exe(from shortcut, CD or the file on my hard drive) the game starts, then INSTANTLY minimizes.
I have to do ctrl-alt-delete and to close the program, BUT some other program is present: ~f1d055. Now its NOT a virus or a trojan or a worm, my computer is a fortress, and I’m not computer illiterate.
After I close that bizarre program, I then have to ctrl-alt-delete rise.exe, then nations.exe (If I do it in any other order, none of them close).
WHAT is causing this, and how do I fix it?
