Strange. I have windows 7 too since a month and age of empires worked, though I only started it once. I don't play a lot of aoe lately, I'm just busy with college and modding aoe.
I actually have a 64 bit version, but that seems unlikely to be the problem, since 32 bit is better for older games/programs.
I don't know what you should do. Hope you'll fix it.

what's AOE Speed? and how did you fix the other problems?
Also are you having any sync errors during lan or multi games?

@ FonaticaL
AoE speed is a utility for AoE. Go to the aoe Heaven's download section and search for AoE Speed, you'll find it.
Follow PhatFish's link for the colour errors. I opened the Change Screen Resolution window (right-click your desktop screen) and left it open while playing AoE. Works fine.
And 'bout the sync error: I haven't tried Multiplayer yet, but I bet there's a huge chance I get the error, too.

Thank you Litude! It worked.

That is indeed strange as 32-bit should, theoretically, work better for old games.

I use 32-bit computer, aoe has been messing around with DirectDraw, but worked out in the end. Aok on the other hand shows nuclear colors when I launch it, but found a workaround for this problem

Yes, but you'll have to reboot for the explorer.exe to return, the patcher is easier.

It's so easy to fix it.
Try with this:
Desktop > Screen Resolution > (Check your resolution) > Advanced Configuration > Screen / Monitor > 60 Hercios; Colors: True Colors (32 bits) > apply.
NO CLOSE YOUR SCREEN RESOLUTION'S WINDOW
It's very important that you Open the game with the screen resolution in openning mode.
If you have more problems, you can reinstall your codecs or check your Video card.
