MR EDDD

Hi I've been playing AOE3 on my XP/SP2 system for sometime and its been
working great. I've now installed Asian Dynasties on my system as well and
even though it loads ok, I get this error message each time I try and play a
skirmish game. The message reads:
00:00:00 (0): Error 0003 could not compile file 'aiLoaderStandard.xs

I can get rid of the error message by clicking ok but then when the game
starts, the villages of all the other teams will go and collect the bundles
of resources at their respective town centres but will then cease to move
unless attacked, where by they will attack back. That is, they will not build
up their civilisation as they normally would. I believe this is related to
the error message I am getting when the game is starting and was wondering
what I can do about this.
