First, does it work when you disable UAC?
And i think you need to set the compatibility modes anyway.

Set compatibility modes for all of those files? and to which setting? Win 98/ME, or one of the XP settings?

 

EDIT: I just tried setting all four of the above files to Win 98/ME compatibility mode, all XP and Vista compatibility modes, and the string error still came up.

Well This Is Serious Problem :z

 

[TheRedshirt]

Yeah, it works when I disable UAC. though I would like to know if it's possible to exempt MO from UAC so I could turn that back on. its kinda helpful. At the very least MO works. thanks, Mevitar.

[mevitar]

I don't know of such way, as i don't have neither Win7 or Win8. You'll have to look around yourself if it's possible to make exceptions for UAC.

OK, well, apparently UAC has no exceptions list, and the only "fix" I can find only prevents the UAC pop-up from appearing. so If I ever want to play MO, I have to go change the UAC settings, restart my computer, then change them back and restart when I'm done. freaking wonderful. thanks bunches Microsoft.

Are you on Windows 7?

 

I am, with UAC on (lowest level though) and I can run everything without a problem.

I have no compatibility setting what so ever turned on, but I do have administrative rights.

[TheRedshirt]

By lowest setting do you mean the "never notify" setting? I believe that's the "off" setting, and yes, MO works then too, but then I don't have UAC, which I've actually found very useful in keeping viruses off my PC. 

 

EDIT: Thanks again for all the help. I know you're time is limited, so thanks again for helping out. I just wish Microsoft was this helpful.

OK, this is odd. I just played a couple missions of Yuri's revenge, and the game ran fine. I tried starting up Red Alert 2, and it gave me the same error I got with Mental Omega...

[RP.]

Sorry, I meant the lowest setting of notifications, which is a simple pop-up at some points (not on every action like starting Paint).

[Graion Dilach]

I might remember it wrong (disabled UAC from the first moment I set up my Win7) but you don't have UAC issues if your RA2/MO folder is not installed within Program Files.

[TheRedshirt]

Actually, my "Westwood" directory isn't in "Program Files", or "Program files x86" Also, switching UAC to the lowest active setting had no effect.

Try Play on CnCNet. You should then see a window with "connecting to cncnet in 3 seconds..." and a Settings button. Tell us if you can play the game through that or does this error still happen.

Did you try changing cncnet settings too?



Run the game once you set everything to be the same.

Tell us if it works or not.

BTW, you might need to change "gamemd.exe" into "gamemo.exe". A little mistake on my part there.

Did you try disabling your anti-virus for a moment to try and run the game?
Are you trying to run the game on an account with administrator rights or without?
Do you have the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable installed?
