In Windows 10, I had a problem at launching CC2, as it just lowered the resolution and got stuck until you switch back with Alt+Tab. Then, after hitting "Continue" on a message window with the first explanations on the menus, I had the error "Rectangle provided was invalid".
Support redirected me to a precedure to enable DirectPlay at the "Turn Windows features on or off" window, option "Legacy". It didn't work, even after trying to run as administrator, reinstalling and verifying DirectX and video drivers.
What actually worked was to disable DirectPlay at "Turn Windows features on or off", clicking on OK, and then enabling again. Pretty much uninstalling and reinstalling DirectPlay. Game's running fine now.
It may also work for other problems. DirectPlay is considered deprecated and that's why you are asked to install it when running CC for the first time. Somehow, mine was messed up in the first time it was installed.
