    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 also a few patches might help you out. 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 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 the game should work.
    • If this fix doesn't work, a quick workaround is to install the CnCNet client for Red Alert 2. CnCNet is an online play system, but it comes with a multitude of patches and a configuration tool that allows tweaking everything some more, so chances are good it'll manage to solve your problems. If you can't figure it out with that, I advise you to check out the CnCNet forum and ask them about it there.
  • Thanks for your solution, But now i have another bug. Now the main menu works but when  i star new campain the game load ( tiberian sun). The introduction video begin and when the

    game begin to loading but game mission not star . It,s frozen.
