Havoc04 0 Posted February 21, 2005 ok, im not a complete newbie. I set the compatibility to W95 and installed TD. I get the "this is windows version 5.1 blah blah blah." so i installed the .dll that westwood supplies and i ran the game. the screen goes black and a blue box with red words says "PC Display Setting Correct." then it goes black. so i shut off my comp and after it says loading windows xp it says that message agian and turns black. My comp is fine, i got to safe mode and did a restore point recovery, BUT... TD doesnt work and when i installed the .dll it did the same thing! HELP PLEASE! I have a Hewlett Packard M90 19 inch desktop, BTW. Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 21, 2005 Of all the things, I dont think thats ever come up here, unless it was a really long time ago. What OS are you running, and is it fully updated? Share this post Link to post
Havoc04 0 Posted February 21, 2005 ok, maybe i am a newbie. how do i get my OS version :oops: ? And the thing that really makes me mad is I had it installed before and i never needed the .dll and it worked! I can give you more info if you need it. Thanks Share this post Link to post
Luk3us 63 Posted February 21, 2005 OS info can be find by going to my computer > Properties... You only need the patch if you're running XP. Share this post Link to post
Havoc04 0 Posted February 21, 2005 o thats what i thought. is it this: 55277-OEM-XXXXXXX-XXXXX? I do have xp, and it does need the dll patch Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted February 21, 2005 Since your using Windows XP it will be either the Home version or Pro version. Either way you should follow this guide to install and play C&C. http://www.cncnz.com/features/tech/ccxpfix.shtml You should also be aware of the fact that this only works for C&C95 (sometimes called C&C Gold). If you trying this the with the old DOS version give up now, it won't work. Share this post Link to post
Havoc04 0 Posted February 21, 2005 i did this and i do have c&c gold. I think i might know what it is: i updated my video card and maybe it doesnt work now. i'll try this. Share this post Link to post
Havoc04 0 Posted February 21, 2005 YESSSSSSS! I FIXED IT> it was my vid card. (i have an old intel one that gave me problems before) Its a Intel® 82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics Controller. I fixed it with this Share this post Link to post
Cygnus X-1 12 Posted February 23, 2005 Yeah it sucks that XP wont run DOS games. Tie Fighter and X-Wing and Yoda Stories were really fun back in the day. Share this post Link to post
