Gekijin 0 Posted August 9, 2007 I have The First Decade edition of Command & Conquer (it is the gold one, I presume), and I just can't start it. I have patched it to 1.02. When I start it with the launcher, it only shows a black screen and this error: An privileged instruction was executed at address 004dd5b4. Click on OK to terminate the application. It freezes, so I must do Ctrl+Alt+Del and terminate the C&C95.EXE process. If I start it with C&C95.EXE, it asks me for CD (while DVD is still inside).I have reinstalled it countless times, always trying something different (no-cd patch, various THIPX32.DLL files, compatibility mode, etc.) with no success. I am desperate, because I really want to play it. Everything else works fine, even RA1 (maybe it's because of 3.03 patch, I don't know). Anyone can help me, please? Share this post Link to post
Sneaky Smiley 0 Posted August 11, 2007 Have you tried this? http://cncnz.com/features/tech/ccxpfix.php This is the only way I know to try C&C1 working on xp. Share this post Link to post
Sonic 292 Posted August 11, 2007 The First Decade version of Command & Conquer should work problem free right out of the box so to speak. However, you could try runing C&C95.EXE with out going through the The First Decade launcher. You don't need the XP fix patch that Sneaky Smiley posted about. Share this post Link to post
Gekijin 0 Posted August 11, 2007 I know it SHOULD work, that's why I am asking. Read my first post. When I run it through the C&C95.EXE, it asks for a CD. With -cd. parameter, it shows the error I have mentioned. And before you will ask, yes, that game is original. Share this post Link to post

Gekijin 0 Posted August 13, 2007 I have just found an original C&C 95 Edition, but I can't install it, because it asks for a Windows 95. I have tried the compatibility mode, with no luck. I wonder, could be something wrong with my WinXP compatibility mode? Share this post Link to post
