So I did a bit of experimenting on my own about this because I want to play with a friend and this internal error business was not helping . First I did a fresh install of Tiberian Sun and patched it. I played a couple skirmish games and without fail I would get the wave error. Then I added the ddraw.dll to the game directory and the error disappeared. I played five more skirmish games on speed 6 and 9th level tech and did not get any more internal errors but I did get a new error... It seemed that when I had scrolled close to the edge of the map and was in a battle on rare occasions it would seem like the game would freeze but in fact it was just the battle map. When I tried to move around the mouse all the units and buildings started showing this strange effect similar to when you show mouse trails for your mouse (sorry I didn't take a picture). The mini map would be fine as would the build menu but unless I saved the game and loaded it the effect wouldn't go away. I then changed the graphics settings from 640 * 480 to 800 * 600 and the mouse trail effect stopped happening but all of a sudden the internal errors started happening again. As far as I could tell this time it was completely random, after 5 minutes or 20 minutes it would just crash (not to do with wave errors I checked). So I changed it to 640*480 and I've played another 6 games without problem. As long as you don't play on a map where your base really hugs the edge of the map you should be free from the mouse trail problem.
