First of all, you have no sources in your scene. Right click the Sources box and say "Add" to add a source to your scene.

Second of all, I'm fairly sure AoE2 is a DirectDraw game, which means you won't be able to capture it with Game capture. You'll have to play the game in Windowed mode and capture with Window capture, or attempt to use the experimental DirectDraw plugin from bl00draven: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=5770

Third of all, your hardware is very underpowered for streaming. Dual-core processor s are notoriously bad for live video encoding, so you're going to need to set your settings down a lot. I recommend downscaling by 2x-3x, running at 25fps, and changing the x264 preset to superfast or ultrafast.

If he means AoE2:HD edition from Steam, then it should be working. Just checked myself and everything captures just fine.
