Fatal Error: Exception in Exception Handler (Old Issue Resurfaced)

[SYarr]

Unfortunately I have received the error 'Fatal Error: exception in exception handler' when trying to launch the game Command and Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. Looking through the support discussions, this seems to have been an old issue that was resolved but appears to be happening again. This happens every time I try to launch the game

I have an Intel HD 4400 graphics card and i5-4200U processor, its drivers are up to date and I am running Windows 8.1.

An old discussion on the topic seems to identify an issue with igdusc32.dll but doesn't explain it:

A driver update was released in 2016 to deal with a solution to the problem but, for some reason, it is incompatible with my laptop:

https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27414?v=t Download Beta Intel® Graphics Driver for Windows® 10 and Windows 7*/8.1* [15.40]

Your help would be greatly appreciated, thank you for your time.
