After installing both games, it says I need to login with administrator privileges when I try to launch. So I figured to run the games as administrator. But when I try to launch either game as administrator, nothing happens. I am on Windows 7 64 bit, and from what I've heard, the counter terrorism versions should run fine on windows 7. Compatibility options do not work, and I can not locate this winmm.dll file.
    I am on Win 10.

    Locate the file in the windows directory, or search for winmm.dll
    Then paste it on the game directory.

    Thank GOG (Geddit?) for this fix but I have no idea how these folks find these solutions, absolute madmen there.

    This sorta fixes it, I mean sorta. You will see the game start in windowed mode which will not respond until the cinematic is over. Then it will stay on windowed mode, but you will not see the flickering anymore, after the intro is over you can now play the game. It will go to full screen once the game starts.

    Didn't work..

    I tried everything you guys said, and the game still doesn't work. It crashes on start-up the same as it did before hand

    I replaced that file and the game tries to start, but all I get is a black screen with a large cursor. In the Sherman.log file I see this msg:

    SetDisplayMode to 640x480x16 failed.
    Renderer::Fullscreen() failed during Renderer::SetDisplayMode() in file C:\Develop\Common\Renderer\renderer.cpp at line 1244
    Error = "Operation requires the application to have exclusive mode but the application does not have exclusive mode."

    I looked at PC Gaming Wiki, which suggest to change compatibility settings to:

    Reduced Color Mode - 16 Bit
    Disable display scaling on high dpi
    Run as administrator

    I did all 3 of those, but still have that same error.

    Any ideas? Thanks, in advance

    - While using compatibility modes (try them all again one by one) right click on the shortcut icon to launch the game and choose "Run as Administrator". Of course, if you've already tried this never mind!

    - Some games have trouble running with a dual video card setup such as a Crossfire configuration. If you use a dual card setup try disabling one of them before trying to launch.

    If these 2 don't work our Support people might be able to help you out. You can reach them through the links in my signature below and submit a support ticket.
    Lots of people seem to still be having these problems.... nothing since September 2015... any feedback?

    Hello everyone! I've not heard any updates on this. Have you tried contacting Support and submitting a ticket for help? Being that a lot of savvy people in the thread tried other edits and such and it didn't work for most Support is the only thing I can suggest at this point.

    yeah, none of this works for me.

    winmm.dll, compatibility modes, settings, even the virtual box idea game me headaches. I've tried every single fix I've seen. I even submitted a ticket and the only response I got was that it could only work on Windows 95/98, yet there's all these success stories but yeah, nothing on my end.

    i noticed on my laptop when i installed rainbow 6 raven shield and when you click on the thumbnail to play, nothing happens. i think it's just the disc version that doesn't work, i think it's where i have hd graphics 4000 which is more for desktop tasks rather than gaming and i have windows 7.
