I installed C&C3 on my Vista Home Premium system, patched it to 105, and it runs fine. Have you tried a reinstall of the game, but, I suspect that your problem is that the onboard graphics just can't handle it. Maybe you should boot from your Vista DVD and run a repair? You do not list other specs of your machine, ie: RAM, CPU. In my system I have a Radeon HD2900, 8GB 800mhz RAM, and a lowly E2140 CPU (overclocked to 2.8Ghz), so I reckon it isn't a CPU problem. In the "Games" window, what are the required machine specs compared to what it says yours are? Have you run the Performance Information and Tools utility available through contol panel to determine the ratings? Hope this helps.
