Command and Conquer 95 compatibility with XP

[shoofle 0]

I had a previous problem with command and conquer compatibility that I solved by getting a patch that I found out about on here, and it worked and let me play, but it makes it so you can't play over a lan. does anyone know any way to make it compatible with xp and also allow lan playing ability?

Im not an expert, but you might try this.

Go to your Redalert installation directory, and right-click the file where redalert runs from. (dont know the exact name) and click properties.

Go to the Compatibility tab.

Run the program in compatibility modus in Windows 95,98 or so.

I don't think that works. I am preety sure there is a patch somewhere but in might of been for C&C Gold

I got the patch, but it makes it so that you can't play lan games. Also, I can't register with westwood it seems. so I can't play on the internet. no skirmishes, no internet, no lan, don't know how to use modem/serial...

I haven't got the patch but I still can't get the Lan to work with XP??? The game works fine under the compatability option and works fine on the other pc running ME

hi i am having trouble installing cnc 95 on my pc i can't even install i have tried changing the compatability to 95 and all i get is C:\windows\system32\AUTOEXEC.NT. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the app. anyone who can help me.

To fix Autoexec.nt problem, you need to copy it from CD as its probably missing:

To answer some of your quesations you might try reading this post at planetcnc.com http://www.planetcnc.com/features/techtroopers/classicsInXP/

 

It includees a new and current link to the patch for C&C95 to be found at file planet. An internet site that i truly despise, however seeing as how ftp.westwood.com is out of action what else can you do?
