    @SwitchedMaster Sorry to see that you are having issues, For Red Alert 3 you go to your install folder for the game and find RA3.exe you can then right click on it select 'Compatability Tab' and from there disable desktop composition.

    For C&C3 set the compatibility for CNC3.exe file to be Windows XP SP3 and make sure that "Run as Administrator" is checked.

    For Kanes Wrath  go to the folder where C&C is installed and the launch .exe file, right click and select "Run with graphic processor" is high-performance NVIDIA processor.

    For C&C4 launch the CNC4Game.exe from the installation folder. 

     It will open the launcher updater which wil let you log into your EA/Origin account, and create your persona.You should then be able to launch the game.
