have you tried modifying the shortcut to use compatibility modes for previous windows versions?

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.

I have found a fix for this:
I did not have to uninstall zune to fix it either.
I believe that it is one of the Zune processes that is causing the scrolling problem.
If you don't start zune(and kill all processes)
Age of Empires II will work.

There doesn't seem to be any documented fix(es) anywhere for installing Age of Empires II on Windows 7...
so will stick with Windows XP for that!

Possible Duplicate:  The Age of Empires II Scrolling Bug     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?

Try modifying the shortcut to use compatibility modes. You can also try powering off and unplugging everything before switching on again. There are a few things you can try to fix this, try running it in a compatibility mode first. You can also try unplugging all peripherals and then plugging them in again.
User suggest multiple fixes.
