generals
c&c 4 tiberium twilight
red alert 3
all these work fine
bought it for red alert mainly
any help thanks pete
Is your operating system a 64 or a 32 bits version?
Older versions do not run on 64 bits, and will require a bit of fiddling around with the installation.
its a 32 bit operating system
strange how some are working and others arnt
I'm going to enquire about your problem and I will update this thread accordingly.
In the meantime, please go to your graphic card's manufacturer and download the latest drivers, install them and see if solves the issue. 🙂
all drivers up to date as far as i can tell
if issue cant be remedied who do i see about refund
many thanks peter
