    Can't run The First Decade properly on Windows 10

    This is how my username is SUPPOSED to look .

    Can't run The First Decade properly on Windows 10

    The only file I found on the disc or the hard drive according to my full PC search results. I reinstalled it in Administrator mode, but still get the black screen. I can click on things, but not see them. I've tried to use compatibility mode for XP, but nothing. I don't particularly want to mess around with Origin, and since this brought me joy in a time in my life full of depression, I frankly really, really, really want it to work. Command and Conquer, Red Alert, and Tiberian Sun all seem to work, but not RA2, YR, or Generals. Something is screwy, but I'm damned I could tell you what it is. I just want the game to work so I can play it!! I suppose this means my desire to play old Dune or Doom games is even more unlikely . Damn, running old games on new OS is a lot of work!

    Contact EA about issue with Origin

    Apparently I had registered previously under a different e-mail, but unfortunately, they won't let me have access to my name, which means someone did take it. I'd be perfectly willing to just put in an underscore, but alas it's ONE character too many. First world problems, I know, but I have this username in so many places that I'd strongly prefer to have it there. Though what I'd REALLY prefer is for The First Decade to actually WORK, but obviously that's not an option.

    Contact EA about issue with Origin

    I registered an EA Game previously, and therefore have an account. When I logged it, it wanted me to choose a display name. Unfortunately, the username I want, am recognized by, and use in several places is unavailable, and I don't think there is any way around that.

    Contact EA about issue with Origin

    When I try to log into their forums or contact their support, they want me to log in. All I want to know is why my username is taken. Have I registered there before? If not, I need to talk to them about it. I won't register under another name, and I just want to ask them about it. I get that their ability to help with the evidently impossible fixing of The First Decade is apparently non-existent.
  6. When I tried to register in Origin (since that's apparently what I have to do since I can't get The First Decade to work), I was told that the username which I used on over a dozen sites (this one) was taken. I'd settle for just putting an underscore in, but apparently, that's one under the character limit. Unbelievable. I would like to contact EA and ask them if I attempted to register the same username previously, but the don't seem to allow me to get past the step without logging into the account. Is there any other method by which to contact them? This is really annoying, all I want is to send an e-mail to ask a question.

    It was the only .exe file that came up when I searched. It's telling me it can't run the program, but with the above-mentioned patch, I should be able to run it without the disc, and even if if I couldn't, the disc is in.

    Don't know what's off. I have the 1.03 patch, and adjusted the settings like the linked posts indicated, and tweaked the compatibility settings as well. Running it as administrator too. I'm getting frustrated . Still get the black screen. Can click, but can't see the graphics or anything. I am frustrated .

    Didn't work. Followed the instructions regarding copying and pasting, but no luck. When I tried to run the .exe files themselves, I got a notification to run them from the install directory, or to reinstall the program. When I tried to launch them through the icon, opening RA2 and YR gave me the black screen of death. You can even click within it and see sound, but can't see any graphics. .

    Red Alert 2 and Yuri's Revenge were the ones I was having the most issues with.

    I used to be able to get everything to run as administrator, but lately, even been getting the black screen. I've been hunting around Google hoping for some answers and wound up here, but I'm sad to say that the patch didn't work at all .
