Windows 7 & Age of Empires II: works but not quite?

Question

I'm trying to install Age of Empires II on Windows 7.

The graphics are so so, but when I enter a tutorial, the map keeps panning continuously, to the upper left of the screen especially. It doesn't seem to be the mouse, I have lifted it off of the pad, and it still pans automatically...

What can I do to fix this?

Answer

I don't think its Windows 7 actually. The scrolling glitch is something that happened back in the XP days as well.

Do you have a Zune? A lot of people who have experienced the scrolling glitch have had Zunes, and after uninstalling the Zune drivers and software the problem has been fixed.

Another fix that used to work for people was powering off the computer, unplugging all peripherals, then once you get to the desktop/login screen, plug them all back in. You might try that as well.
