Kane's Wrath "Fatal Error - Exception in Exception Handler"
Afternoon everyone,
I've recently installed a copy of CnC3:Kanes Wrath (and Tiberium Wars), but am having issues attempting to load the game. I've tried running repairs, compatibility modes, as administrators and all combinations of the above. I have also attempted to repair the files and verify them, to no success. Attempting to load the game gets the same error - "Fatal Error", with the message "Exception in Exception Handler" as the content, twice. I have checked the system is capable of running the game, and meets the requirements. I can provide copies of the Error Logs and DXDiag files if necessary.
Hmm. Doesn't seem like there's anything specifically problematic in there.
I know some of these games require some older DirectX components to be installed to run correctly; to be precise, the redistributable pack 9.0c, from 2010.
Maybe this could fix your problem?

[EDIT]
The "Exception in exception handler" issue has been confirmed as a problem with certain drivers of the Intel HD graphics cards. The issue has been solved in the latest drivers, though, so update your drivers.
[EDIT AGAIN]
It seems the problem has reappeared in later drivers. The only solution that has been found so far is to downgrade the drivers to a version from around/before June 2014; the problem does not seem to appear in that driver.
[YET ANOTHER EDIT]
Note that if you have a dedicated graphics, like AMD or NVidia, then you should go into your graphics settings and make sure the program is specifically set to be handled by your dedicated graphics card.
