Command and Conquer

Bought the Command and Conquer complete Pack. Only Red Alert 3 Works. The rest either do not start or hang at the Main Menu of the game. Please help otherwise it would be such a waste of money.

    When you say "the rest", did you try absolutely all of them? Please specify which ones you actually tried.

    Command & Conquer 1, Red Alert 1 and Tiberian Sun have all been upgraded with community-created unofficial patches that fix a lot of their bugs and compatibility problems. For Red Alert 2 there's a more general patch that solves a lot of its graphics problems. You can find them here:

    Command & Conquer 1:

    Red Alert 1:

    Tiberian Sun:

    Red Alert 2:

    • The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve a multitude of graphics problems, including the "black screen" issue.
      Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and try running the game again.
    • If you still have problems with RA2 even after this, I advise installing the CnCNet installer for RA2/YR. It comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick.

    As ivro said, there is a dedicated forum for the C&C games. I moved the thread there now. I suggest you take a look around to see if any of the sticky threads or solutions already posted here can help you with any others you're having issues with.
