I agree with Donna. The ONLY way I could make this error go away was with the 1.5 patch. Just look for it in Google, download, and you'll be fine

the issue could be you are running windows 8. right click it and select run as admin. if that doesnt work try going into the properties of the game and selecting compatibility and run in XP or vista

Well, from what I know with little experience is that sometimes you can get a program to work by right clicking the game icon and selecting properties. Then go to compatibility at the top right and then select the box at the bottom of that screen that says "Privilege Level" for "Run as administrator. Otherwise I'd contact a tech with the game perhaps. Good Luck!

Even if you are administrator, try right clicking on the game and choosing "run as administrator". You may also have to run it in a compatibility mode for Windows 8. I have Windows 7, so I'm not sure:/

I had the same problem and I tried clicking as admin, no luck. I found the 1.5 patch for this game and it works now with the patch.

I'm sorry but I don't know. We have Windows 7 and it works. If I remember I will check the game case to see if it says more than you can see online.

There are a few steps to follow, and this link may help, but I will tell you what I did (http://answers.ea.com/t5/Command-Conquer-The-Ultimate/Info-How-to-run-older-Command-amp-Conquer-titles-on-Windows-8-1/m-p/4236614#U4236614) 1. Open up your task manager and end all command and conquer games and processes 2. Open up your Origin client 3. In the upper left hand corner click on Origin and click on Application Settings 4. Uncheck "Enable Origin Game" (if it is grayed out, be sure you shut down all Command and Conquer games in the task manager) The link above will also give you some tips on getting it to run, but try what I typed out first as it fixed my issues. Also, if you alt-tab out of the game, you will not be able to get back in without shutting it down via your task manager.

I have windows 8.0/8.1 and I had no issues with it whatsoever. I upgraded to 8.1 little before I downloaded and played SC1-SCBW so I'd double check with a FAQ or something. But tbh I think you'll be fine.

Nevermind, I just found the replacement install cd. There are other games for this on the website too.

Hi I have recently bought a new Laptop which uses the Vista operating system. And so far have had no problems installing games. Many of the games I play are old 2005-7 and all seem to run no problems. Also newer games such as Age of Empires and Medieval Total War II are running well under Vista

yes it did on mine ,If your having trouble getting it on yours try installing using administrator some times the computer is older then the game or the game is older then the computer. Hope this helps good luck .

It is, but you'll have to do some workarounds with the graphics settings and its a "games for windows live" game. So you'll need a Microsoft account.

Games are loaded on your computer. Vista is listed on the OS list. I play mine on my windows 8.1 system. I hope this helps.

I have been playing it on Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 since Windows 8 was released. I did not have to run it in compatibility mode, e.g., Win XP SP3.

It will, but you should run it as an administrator, otherwise it will freeze up periodically. As an admin, this only happens once in a while. (Turn computer off when it does, remember anything not saved in the game will be lost). Still worth it, though.

I have played the game on both Windows 7 and Windows 8 and it works fine on both. I have not had any issues since switching to Windows 8.

Unfortunately, I never got the game running because it requires a 64 bit operating system. I was very upset that I wasted my time and money which I would not have done if there was a warning about this. I did not return the game because I do want to play it some day.

You don't need windows. The game has Mac version. Go and download Origin, then find your game and type in your key number. The game will be installed automatically.

Hello! Thanks for your question. The best that I can tell is that you need the disc in order to play the game. So I think that as long as you download it once, you shouldn't have to re-download the game again. All you would need is the disc to play the game. Again, I am not 100% sure about this but from experience that is how it's always been. Sorry if I could not provide you with a better answer.

Try to run it on medium install. It could be that your MAC can't support the game on full install
