Problem installind C&C Tiberian Dawn, please help me!

[Guest Shadow_Sniper]

Hello, i'm trying to install C&C Tiberian Dawn on Windows XP.

OK, I've already downloaded the patch that fix the play on Windows XP, but i'm facing another problem.

I can't install the DirectX Drivers of C&C (i have DirectX 9.0b), and when the game begins... A black screen appear... and I press enter and it goeas back to Windows. I think it's because i can't install the DirectX drivers from the CD, the game display the following error message durring installation of DirectX drivers: "Setup was unableto install the DirectX drivers. Try exiting all Windows programs and rerun the Steup program or run DXSETUP.EXE from the CD-ROM disk"

I've already tried that... :cry:

Please help me, I want to play C&C on Windows XP.

Oh, sorry for my english.

What ever you do don't install DirectX from the C&C CD's. That version is way to old and may cause problems with Windows XP. I suggest updating to DirectX 9.0c anyway, grab that from http://www.cncnz.com/files/support/drivers.shtml#dx9
