C&C constantly crashing

[donotspam 0]

Hi!

I just recently dug out the good old C&C tiberian dawn, and installed it to my winXP computer. I got it working with "Compatibility mode", which allowed me tu run the game as I was running it in win95.

 

I have one problem however: When a unit of any sort is sent to uppermost border of the map and/or the uppermost areas are clicked by cursor, the game crashes. This is especially frustrating in some missions, where you start from the uppermost corners. This makes the game crash the instant it starts, BUMMER! :x

 

Do you guys have encountered anything like this and does anyone know how to fix it?

To fix the corner bug, disable Advanced Text Services on the compatibility tab.

That first patch is only for DOS C&C, the second he already applied if he can play the game.

Hey fellas worry no more....i may have the solution u need. I 2 had the problem and i got onto EA about it...eventually we sussed it out. The easiest way to fix it is to end the process "ctfmon.exe" in the task manager. For a more permanent fix try this:

 

1. Quit all Office programs.

2. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel. NOTE: In Windows XP, click Start and then click Control Panel.

3. In Control Panel, double-click Add/Remove Programs.NOTE: In Windows XP, click Add or Remove Programs.

4. In the Currently installed programs list, click to select Microsoft Office XP product, where Office XP product is the name of the specific Office product being used. If you are using a standalone version of one of the Office programs, click to select the appropriate product in the list. Click Change.

5. In the Maintenance Mode Options dialog box, select Add or Remove Features, and then click Next. This displays the Choose installation options for all Office applications and tools dialog box.

6. Click the plus sign (+) next to Office Shared Features to expand it.

7. Click the icon next to Alternative User Input, and then select Not Available.

8. Click Update.

 

If that dont work:

Go to Regional and Language settings in control panel. Click Languages tab, then Details. Click Advanced then tick the box that disables advanced text services.

 

And if that dont work:

Just make sure before u run C & C that the process "ctfmon.exe" is no longer running in the task manager.

 

Good Luck
