Wierd thing. Try opening the game from your install directory 'age3y.exe'. Run it as administrator. If it still doesn't work, reinstall the game. I'm not sure that this will work, just check it out.

Try disabling antivirus temporarily, sometimes AV can freeze a program by causing filesystem lockup.

I would also try moving your aoe3 profile folder elsehwhere so it has a blank profile to work with, maybe something there is causing it.

Also, as a note, the Visual C++ is only related to the ESOC patch, which it does not appear that you're using, so that was not likely to do anything.
