FREE: Command & Conquer - Old Games

you do know you need to make discs of red alert for it to work it cleary states how to burn the ISO

Surely mounting it on a virtual drive does exactly the same job though, I can't see why making a physical copy would make any difference. The coding and settings are all going to be the same...
 
I get this error with Red Alert 1 using Win XPr:

An privileged instruction was executed at address 005c7c14

Edit: Forgot to change compatability mode on .exe as well as installer, works now :p

OK, just burnt it to a CD and nope it didn't work.
"The program or feature "\??\D:\setup95\SETUP.exe" cannot start or run due to to incompatibity with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the software vendor to ask if a 64-bit Windows compatible version is available".

I did have a giggle at the word "incompatibity", stupid Microsoft.
 
Ah my bad i was using 32 bit to play the game red alert don't allow for use on 64 bit

i have xp 32 bit and win 7 32 bit

iirc red alert used a 16bit installer and i don't think any 64 bit operating system can use it
 
Anyone have any idea how to get Tib Sun to work?

Extracted to program files
Clicked play tib sun shortcut

im getting the same problem.

Right click 'Game.exe' and go to 'Properties' then the 'Compatibility' tab. I selected 'Windows 98 / Windows Me' and it loads fine. Aye, plays fine too. Just got totally annihilated in 2 minutes.

Still trying to get RA to work though, doesn't seem to like 64 bit at all...

Doesn't work on 64bit. you need dos box. I used dosbox and i think i got it working.

You cannot just run the 16bit game on 64 bit windows, it will never run the executable.
