Did you tick "Run As Administrator" in the properties (tag
Compatibility) of the program shortcut?

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.

Thanks a lot!!

Red alert 2 and general works but tiberian sun still doesn´t work.
Do you have another tip like that?

Try Running in winxp sp2 compatibility mode

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.
