C&C Generals Deluxe Edition:Administrator permission

[RLG2187]

I am having trouble playing c&c generals on my computer using windows 10. I have installed the game and,as I was to play it would not load up but, a screen would pop up asking to sign in as the administrator. I then uninstalled the game from my computer,and tried again now the game will not install completely. I would like to know how to resolve the issue.thx

Unfortunately, this issue is probably related to copy protection... it's the game's DRM failing to load because SecuROM / Safedisc were permanently scrapped from Windows 10.

“Everything that ran in Windows 7 should also run in Windows 10. There are just two silly exceptions: antivirus software and stuff that’s deeply embedded into the system needs updating – but the developers are on it already – and then there are old games on CD-Rom that have DRM. This DRM stuff is also deeply embedded in your system, and that’s where Windows 10 says “sorry, we cannot allow that, because that would be a possible loophole for computer viruses.” That’s why there are a couple of games from 2003-2008 with Securom, etc. that simply don’t run without a no-CD patch or some such. We can just not support that if it’s a possible danger for our users. There are a couple of patches from developers already, and there is stuff like GOG where you’ll find versions of those games that work.”

The only real solution besides re-buying the games on Origin is to find a way to disable the DRM on the game itself. EA hasn't released any official solutions, so finding a 3rd party no-cd patch seems like the best way.

Lots of sites with this kind of patches have viruses, so do be careful. From my experience, GameCopyWorld is a pretty reliable one though.

Is there any other way I can download the game online

@RLG2187 As I said... the only other way is to buy The Ultimate Collection on Origin.
