YAY! then DAMN!

[MAME]

I got my friend to let me borrow Command and Conquer (the very first one) and I was all excited. Then I try to install it but it was made for Win 95 or DOS so it won't install on XP.

Is there a way to get it to work? Like some emulator I can use? Pleaseeeeeee??

First of all, WRONG FORUM.

Second of all, if you don't know how to use the built-in Win9x/ME/NT/2k emulator in Windows XP, maybe you should do your homework first. 🙂

yes
right click the game icon
properties
compatibility
run the program for win95
have fun :beer:

in XP you can run things in "compatibility mode" by right clicking on the program. It only works some of the time, though.

Try running it from the command prompt, too.

Yep, what they said.

NOPE! :| It still doesn't work...a black screen loads and then just quits to the desktop.

go to ebay and buy a old machine that runs win95

I started a thread with the very same issue a week or two ago, in the software section. See if you can find it there. In addition to compatibility mode, you have to replace one file.

Thanks but it's the ORIGINAL C&C! I don't see it on the site listed

NOESSSSSS!

"Note: The very original C&C - i.e. the DOS version - will NOT work in Windows. You must use C&C95, also called C&C Gold, to be able to play under Windows XP."


THERE IS NO GODDDDDDDD
