Red Alert 2 Yuri Revenge black screen

I just downloaded C&C The first decade. When I clicked on yuri's revenge, It looked like it was loading (I know how it works, because I played it before). But the screen went black, but I was able to move my cursor and it looked how it should be. I don't understand whats wrong.

    I assume you mean The Ultimate Collection, not The First Decade? There's no digital version of TFD, as far as I know.

    Anyway....

    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 more general patch that solves a lot of its graphics problems. 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 a multitude of graphics problems, including 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 try running the game again.
