I have the Command and Conquer: The First Decade DVD. I tremendously enjoy playing Yuri’s Revenge, it’s one of the best things for taking the edge off of my sad life and distracting me from its cold, existential horror. But that particular subset of the game only doesn’t work correctly. It won’t run at all regularly, and when I clicked “Run as administrator,” it used to work, (32 bit, which is a nightmare and won’t open again if it’s minimized, but that’s a separate issue…), but now come up with a black screen. It’s on the screen; I can click or touch it and hear it move to the next menu. But it doesn’t show. Anyone have any idea?

Worth a shot. It worked for a while, then I just stopped.

Running it in compatibility mode for XP or 95\98 has so far made the machine believe that the disc isn’t even in the drive. Odd.
