Shouldn't be Vista causing the problem as it works ok for me with the latest patch, have you tried running it in XP compatibility mode?

Yea still wont work

IF that's true, it makes a mockery of the Games for Windows branding as 64 bit is supposed to be supported natively.

I'm using 32bit Vista, felt no reason to install 64bit.

I've got it working now, but I cant get my save to work, were abouts are the save games stored? I've got on in My Documents, but the problem is C&C3 cant seem to find it, so I went and created a new profile, but it's not in the folder in my Documents so I dont know were the profiles are stored :confused:

i had this

need to run the install programme as administrator i seem to recall

right click on setup.exe on the CD (or whatever its called) and click "run as admininistrator"

this only happens if you have UAC. i take it most people on here have disabled it then ? lol

I have it disabled.

But yea, got the game working fine now, just I cant get my profile to work in C&C3 anymore :confused:
