Win10 breaks CNC3 Tiberium wars

30 December 2015 - 03:18 PM

I recently installed my Origin CNC3 Tiberium wars on my Windows 10 laptop.  I used CNC3 yesterday with no problems.  However, now when I try to launch the game I get the following error:

"This application is not compatible with the installed operating system.  Please upgrade to Windows 98SE, Windows 2000 or better."

 

Perhaps either the game updated or Windows updated or both?  I tried going into the exe properties and running in Win 7 compatibility mode.  I also went into my NVIDIA control panel and set the graphics card as the default instead of automatic.  Unfortunately non of these fixed the problem.  I think I can get this to work again by uninstalling the game and reinstalling but that is a pain as I'll loose all my saved games.  

 

So my two questions:

1) How can I fix this Windows 10 launch issue and why was it working on day 1 but on day 2 it doesn't work?

2) Is there a way to copy my saved games so that if I uninstall CNC3 and reinstall I can copy and paste over my saved games?

 

Thanks!
