This is happening because Windowed mode is enabled, which only works when the desktop colors are set to 16bit.
To disable Windowed mode you simply have to disable the 'Windowed' option in the launcher and also remove -WIN in cncnet.ini if it's present (after Arguments=).

There's a bug in the current public Launcher version which causes Windowed mode to be enabled by default, it's already fixed but the fix won't be released until 1.12. To solve the issue, just disable the "Windowed (requires 16-bit color)" checkbox and delete CnCNet.ini from your DTA directory (or remove the -WIN argument from the file like Bittah stated).

In that case you haven't played DTA at CnCNet using that computer yet. Simply unchecking the "Windowed (requires 16-bit color)" check box in the Launcher should do.
