allright, ill give it a try here in the next while. Thanks!

hmm, okay, so then would I have to un-install red alert, then re-install, then just install that thipx21.dll patch, and try it? p.s. thanks for your help in both threads i have going.

Got it! thanks Only thing is that it seems like Red alert is running slower than it should. It seems like it plays at a reasonable speed for a while, then slows down for a while, then speeds back up. I dont know why this would happen because our computers now days are way better than they were when this game came out and it doesnt seem like this should happen ya know. Any ideas?

I think - For C&C Original I installed the network fix patch and the C&C First Decade 1.02 patch, i went to that link and there are a whole bunch of patches available. do you have any suggestions as to which I should install?

okay so my friend and I tried playing C&C on the network and 4/5 games crashed? is this normal? I mean has everyone else experianced this is there a fix?

How?! I installed all the same patches. can get into the network lobby but we cant see eachother. How do you fix it?
