red alert 2 Yuri's revenge does not work

I downloaded the C&C bundle but a few of the games do not work. Red Alert 2 and Yuri's revenge will load and the music plays but nothing on screen except the cursor.

Tiberian Sun + Firestorm load but cannot select anything on the screen.

    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:

    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.
