I bought the C&C:Saga (which includes C&C: The First Arcade) and I could
run all of its games, and I am using 64-bit Vi$ta Ultimate.

Puzzling... just use Administrator to run *ALL* games. Check all
shortcuts's compatibility tab in their properties.

DO NOT apply the First Decade patch. It might causee C&C:General to fail
to load under Vi$ta.

Heh, funny thing about Red Alert 2, it crashes, and for once it probably has
nothing to do with Windows Vista. I used to run this pack on my Windows XP
box and got the same crash a few minutes after starting this game.

Look at http://support.ea.com for any patches for C&C Decade. Red Alert 2
just crashes on some systems, not sure why.

As for TS and Generals, I have no idea why they don't see the CD/DVD. Might
try reinstalling the whole game on your system.
