Have tried running in clean mode (as suggested by Tech Support) with all services (except Microsoft) disabled but still no luck. I have also set the game to run in Windows XP Service Pack 3 mode and run as administrator. The game gives me a black screen and then minimizes itself within a few seconds and gives up completely. How ever many time I attempt to click the icon, I get a black screen and sound for a split second and it then retreats into a minimized icon without crashing.
Any suggestions would be very welcome. Thanks for reading
Here's a suggestion: please make a new thread instead of bumping a five-year-old dead thread with your issues. In fact, browse the forum itself for a bit instead of looking at direct search results, and you might already have found solutions in the sticky threads around here.
That said, 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 couple of more general patches that also solve a lot of its problems. You can find them here:
