Bought this off Steam (mostly because of the Red Alert developers being involved ^__^) while on sale for £2.50, the game runs and opens fine after I installed the Xliveredist which comes in the download, however, after the main menu and going into a skirmish, within about a minute of playing the game crashes, and forces me to ctrl-alt-del and force it to end.

All my drivers as far as I know are up-to-date, so any help will be appreciated - since I've had this PC, this is the only game I've had issues with.

Dxdiag and Msinfo attached :)...

Or not. "This file was too big to upload ¬_¬"

Dxdiag is attached, can't attach Msinfo as it's 1.26mb

Hello! First thing to try is to turn off the DX10 in the graphics options section (it should appear as a little check box).

I'm not entirely sure why DX10 causes problems, but in most cases we have had turning it off fixes crashing problems.  Hope this helps!

Update: When I turned Steam on this moring it downloaded 500mb, which seems to have fixed it.
