Can't Get CNCNet to Open - Keeps Crashing

[EagleEye88]

Hi, 

I loved this game growing up and just recently downloaded it so I could teach my middle school aged son about it.  I was able to pay online last night, but when I opened this today, I received the below error.  I tried uninstalling and reinstalling CNC Net, but that didn't solve the issue.  Any ideas on what could be the problem?  See attached logs for more info.

Strange one. Did you change your client resolution? What is your resolution of your PC?

Could you try removing RA2MD.ini from your game directory and reinstalling CnCNet again?

Ha, you nailed it.  I had originally played it on my laptop with my son.  When I tried yesterday, I had plugged into an external monitor to play it and the resolution difference must have thrown it off.  When I'm unplugged from the external monitor, all works as expected.  

 

Thanks Grant!
