I have The First Decade edition of Command & Conquer (it is the gold one, I presume), and I just can't start it. I have patched it to 1.02. When I start it with the launcher, it only shows a black screen and this error:
An privileged instruction was executed at address 004dd5b4.
Click on OK to terminate the application.
It freezes, so I must do Ctrl+Alt+Del and terminate the C&C95.EXE process. If I start it with C&C95.EXE, it asks me for CD (while DVD is still inside).I have reinstalled it countless times, always trying something different (no-cd patch, various THIPX32.DLL files, compatibility mode, etc.) with no success.
I am desperate, because I really want to play it. Everything else works fine, even RA1 (maybe it's because of 3.03 patch, I don't know).
Anyone can help me, please?
