    Well this is weird. 

    For windows 10 user the most common problem are not so very related as win7 and back.

    Okey you probably have done this like 100 time by now but Reinstall the game.

    Delete all the data Manually. files can still be around even when deleted.

    even (Firewall) just to make sure.

    Something makes your game not running as it should obviously. 

    the only win 10 got problems are the .dll files.

    the other issue may appear are other reasons such game file not being installed properly. 

    The deep reason can also be windows don't get installed probably and missed updates or files to begin with.  

    This issue I've been seeing before even my own computer. 

    I don't tell you to reinstall windows just it mate fix the core of the issue the hick up.

    So try the first let me know if that even changes probably not. if not and you mate got missing windows update or files that has been skip.

FIRST OF ALL thanks for the reply!!! I thought i was speaking/writing to the wall (it's a Greek phrase :eahigh_file🙂.

Secondly, as i mentioned to my original post, that method you propose was the FIRST thing i tried to fix my issue without solution of course. I still have them deleted (you can see the two attached files in the bottom). Also, i can't open them (doesn't let me) in windowed mode (thinking that this may let me play them at least like a GameBoy mod).

Do you really be able to play them in your PC? (meaning that you have Win 10). I'll keep my ears/eyes open for anything else that you have to propose me for this timeless problem. It's the only f***ing game (pirated and official version) that i never managed to make it play...

Got a look of the image you sent and it looks good so far. 

 Do you got settings for the game at the Documents?

you only need Options.ini in both games

    Thank you (again) in advance but... i have already tried it resulting in a complete failure 😢.

    I am sending screenshots from my data folders of the games, as yours. Also i am sending the content of the options.ini (in .txt form) file i copied and pasted in both of these folders (is the content right?). In the end i tried and the Command & Conquer 3 Kane's Wrath solution/fix (making into the NVIDIA Control Panel on the tab Global Settings not Program Settings the choice High performance NVIDIA processor not Auto-select) but i had the same frustrating ending.

    I can't think of trying something else... Is it possible for my issue to be related with the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributables i have installed?
