Any help to be found for this?  I just bought C&C Ultimate Collection (EA App version).  When I try to start Command & Conquer (the very first game in the series) I just get a black screen and nothing more.  I'm also using Windows 11.

I've not tried this but try compatibility mode:  

  • Accessing Compatibility Mode:
    • Right-click the program's executable file. 
    • Select "Properties". 
    • Go to the "Compatibility" tab. 
  • Using Compatibility Mode:
    • Run the Compatibility Troubleshooter: If you're unsure which compatibility settings to use, run the troubleshooter, which will automatically detect the best settings. 
    • Select a Previous Windows Version: Under the "Compatibility mode" section, check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for:" and select the appropriate Windows version from the dropdown. 
    • Adjust Other Compatibility Options: You can also adjust other compatibility options, such as running the program as an administrator or with specific display settings. 

     

    This should at least point you in the right direction.    A black screen is frequently associated with display settings or card issues.  Have you tried asking EA help for this?
