Sounds like a (system?) dll is corrupt to me. Did you install the VS2012 redist danpaul linked to? If it asks you to repair, do the repair. You can also uninstall the package and reinstall it using danpaul's link.
If that did not work, search for a message in the windows event logs that occurs when running mixcheck.exe that says "... is either not designed to run on Windows or it contains an error. Try installing the program again using the original installation media or contact your system administrator or the software vendor for support." (or something else ). If so, note the .exe or .dll name it mentions.
If you are experienced enough, you can also download a dependency walker (e.g. http://www.dependencywalker.com/ ) and find the broken .dll.
Finally, it could be an anti-virus program that blocks it but fails to show a proper message. Try disabling any such program temporarily and see if that solves it.

Any luck?
I have a few thoughts on what it could be; seeing as I've had to reformat and re-install Renegade and Windows countless times, to the point it's not even funny... So I'll try and help.
It will be difficult to fix this regardless of what happens because the Renegade directory is most likely muddled up now.
Now a new directory on C must be created, followed by completely removing the previous folder. Restart before install.
After install finishes, select Run/Play and let the game load in it's native form, and try to connect online.
If you can download the update, (It will be prompt via Westwood Online) do so, and then relaunch the game.
-Save your controls on Practice/Skirmish and name them something other than "keys" and quit. Launch "config" (type in start) and edit the resolution and you will be able play~
If this does NOT work, likely the C drive should be reformatted to fully diagnose the problem with a fresh installation.

C&C Renegade community patch</a> will allow you to experience Renegade without the known bug "blue hell" and without having to worry about glitching entering vehicles. Not to mention the update has a bloom effect, hints, aswell as a cleaner gameplay.</a>
For example, there is no blue private message text anymore, which is helpful to some of us gamers. Yay TT
Rest in peace spoonplex, We love you.

I understand it was a last resort. I just wanted to place the warning for future reference and for if the guy ran into any other problems later.
So after extracting, the installer worked? Interesting. That also solves the issues I was describing in my previous post. Almost sounds like the installer installed a corrupt version of mixcheck.exe... Not sure what happened, but either way, good to head that the problem is solved for this person. If it happens again for anyone else reading this in the future, they should probably post about it so that TT can attempt to find the exact reason and solve it for good.
