    When I loaded up a skirmish game, it would show the picture of the world or whatever,but then it would crash onto my desktop. The game works well on campaign and tutorials just not on skirmish. I can't figure it out why. I tried changing the graphics driver, no dice.

    I have Vista 32bit Home Premium and Kane's edition for C&C.

    driver issue probably, get latest drivers and patch the game.

    It is patched to the latest for both graphics and game.

    My computer specs are:
    2.0 dcd, 100 7200 rpm hdd, 2gb ram, 7600 graphics.

    Yea I just don't understand why it doesn't work.

    This problem still persists. I don't get it! It works for campaign and tutorial, but just not skirmish. The game would get to the point where right after I press play, it shows the picture with the map of the world. And then there is no loading. Eventually, the game would crash and not respond.

    hmm, can you play internet games? Maybe its a problem with the AI files. Maybe you should reinstall.

    I tried reinstalling. Would this problem be anything related with Vista? Cuz I tried this on XP and it worked.

    Hmm...your graphics card sounds a little weak for Tiberium Wars. But I'm beginning to think that it won't work on Vista. :mad:

    no it works on vista,
    i have a desktop computer that has vista, and it worked very well
    1GB ram DDR1
    256 ATI Raedeon (forgot wat model)
    anyways its a crumy computer, but tiberium worked ...
    perhaps you have to reinstall direct x or update your VGA Drivers...

    It works great on vista albeit with some audio problems (for me at least) I play on Home Premium, on a 2 GB RAM, T7200, 7900GS.

    Works for me too. I only played it after patch 1.04 came out and updated before ever playing. Maybe that will help.
    C&C has a nice build animation when a building is placed. Maybe tha animation doesnt work with the graphics card or the file of the animation is currupted.

    Yea I just don't get it now. Since it works on Vista for some people it should work for me. I even have it patched to the latest. The weird thing is that all the other things work like campaign but not skirmish. That is the only thing that quits.

    It must be a problem with your installation, if it still doesn't work after reinstallation, then you should probebly take it back and get a new copy, or get EA to replace it for you.

    Im running tiberium wars on xp pro

    3.6ghz
    2gb ram
    80gb hd
    Geforce 6200 256mb (PCI)

    for some reason the game locks up then crashes and dumps memory during skirmishes. and it only happens after i seem to get a certain number of buildings and units.

    i have updated all graphics drivers, also tried older drivers, turned all graphic settings to low, and patched with the latest patch. and still it crashes.

    any ideas would be great.

    i havent tried the campaign or the multiplayer yet, but im sure the same thing would happen

    i doubt that replacing the game will do anything, they are massed produced and probably all have the same problem.
