... Hello I have some problem with som games in first decade red allert 2 gets "fatal string error" at start and quits tiberian sun and generals doesn´t recognize the cd. I´m running windows vista home premium swedish version. Heh, funny thing about Red Alert 2, it crashes, and for once it probably has nothing to do with Windows Vista. I used to run this pack on my Windows XP box and got the same crash a few minutes after starting this game. Look at http://support.ea.com for any patches for C&C Decade. Red Alert 2 just crashes on some systems, not sure why. As for TS and Generals, I have no idea why they don't see the CD/DVD. Might try reinstalling the whole game on your system. -A. |

I bought the C&C:Saga (which includes C&C: The First Arcade) and I could run all of its games, and I am using 64-bit Vi$ta Ultimate. Puzzling... just use Administrator to run *ALL* games. Check all shortcuts's compatibility tab in their properties. Do you have another tip like that? -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

DO NOT apply the First Decade patch. It might causee C&C:General to fail to load under Vi$ta. -- @~@ Might, Courage, Vision, SINCERITY. / v \ Simplicity is Beauty!

Command & Conquer first decade problem
Ok, at first I couldnt go on the game at all. Then I read the post above and did run as administrator as xp or whatever. Now I can't get on either Tiberium Sun or Yuri's Revenge. It keeps telling me that there is no cd in the DVD-ROM when there is and other games still run. Any help would be appreciated please -- Franco6985 |

Command & Conquer first decade problem
I had the problems with red alert 2 and tiberian sun. What I did that fixed it was set program comatibility to xp sp2 (didn't fix it at first)... Then went right to the game.exe files and ran it as administrator. Works after that. So I think it IS a vista issue. Mind you I'm on x64 so that might have an effect on it.... -- Fynix |
