How does the game "quit" exactly? Does it simply disappear, does it come up
with an error message, or does Windows report it had to close it?

Few troubleshooting tips:

1) Close any other background applications such as anti-virus etc.
2) Make sure you've got the latest update (2.0a) which can be downloaded
from; http://www.microsoft.com/games/age2/downloads.htm
3) A lot of older games require full administrative rights to function
properly, make sure you're playing under an account with admin rights, to
check to go Control Panel / Users it will either say Computer Administrator
or Limited users below the account name.
