Does you're error look like this ?

After applying the 1.3 patch the problem went away. Currently the latest
patch is 1.4. I played the entire game under Vista64, so it does work.

I've not played CnC3, but it's made by EA, yeah? If it's anything like the
previous games, it has an updater program?

Right click on the program, and choose "Run as Admin". That should let you
update ... I imagine.

I just downloaded the patch manually and applied it. It's more fun that way.
