Hi kk,
Unfortunately, your processor does not seem capable of running AOE III...
Supported processor
Age of Empires III requires a minimum of a 1.4 gigahertz (GHz) processor.
Additionally, the processor must support Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE).
Processors such as the 1.4 GHz Athlon Thunderbird do not support SSE.
Your hardware must pass a system check when you start the game.
If your hardware does not pass the system check, you will receive the
following error message that states that Age of Empires III does not
support the processor:
Age of Empires III requires a processor that supports the SSE instruction set.
This computer does not appear to support SSE, so the game will not attempt to run.
The processor is supported if it meets the speed requirement and
passes the system check when you start Age of Empires III.

experience when you play Age of Empires III, click the following

When you install or start a Microsoft game, you may receive an
error message that states that your computer's processor does not
meet the requirements for the game
