I have the same...

you should have a readme file inside the cd .... its all written there in trouble shooter

i have a different problem .... after i followed the instructions and runned then game installation it says "unable to find resource files - please run the installation from the setup file"

can someone please help me?

Hi.
I did what you said and it looked like it was gonna work but it didnt.. the screen gets white and a litle dark at the top and some colorful lines come and join in. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

I tried this but it sends me to some french website with no download... I really wanna play C&C. Help me....

I've gotten the game installed and working but my problem is that the screen is to far to teh rigth and I cant see the right edge of the game, it goes far enough to block the right collumn for buildings and units and half the map, my comp doesn't have the manual adjusting knobs so I dont know how to fix it

I just want to play this old classic for it is such a fun game to play but i have a very old version of this game. I belive is the original and I don't have any of the expansion packs... I can't seem to install the game so I can't patch a game I can't install... What happens is that I set everything to be compatible with Win 95 and click setup but all I get is a black screen followed by me returning to the desktop. PLEASE HELP ME I LOVE THIS GAME AND I REALLY WANT TO PLAY IT!

hi you guys!
i'm gianluca from italy.
i found this forum searching by google how to resolve problems due to C&C95/windows xp uncompatibility.
i followed the "famous instructions" (patches, compatibility mode... all displayed in the first post of this thread) but now i've got another problem.
when i try to run the c&c's executable, i see that's coming an error. it's like this (i used the screenshoot button)



i don't know what it means... maybe because there isn't written NOTHING!!! ;-)

do you?
please answer me soon.
thanks a lot!!!!

Wow, that's really informative. You should consider sending it to www.wtf.com for the Pop-up Potpourri. You might be the winner.

Other than that, I don't think there's much anyone can do to help you. Obviously the "error" doesn't provide any clues. If you've tried everything else in the tips here, then you may just have to give up on your game and buy a new version.

Yeah, hell, I've got the same message as saari683 and I just have no idea. It appears as soon as I try to install the game, after following the steps in the original post. Oh yes, the url with the directx-patch posted by dexter doesn't work any longer.

This error-message really should get the price for "most stupid error message of all times"...
