fullscreen dosbox -> alt-enter
to run C&C on a 400 mhz machine => don't use dosbox. try vdmsound

oh no. i installed vdmsound and started it. the result was only this:
"VDMSound DOS loader, versino 2.01 (Aug 04 2001) Copyright © 2000-2001 Vlad ROMASCANU. VDMSound is covered by the GNU Public License (GP), version 2 or later, as published by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. (http://www.fsf.org/). Loading 'VDDLoader.dll'... Successfully loaded & initialized ((hvDD = 0x01)." then the "command promt" or what programm ever closes and nothing happens. :-( when i start the command and comquer with rungame.exe it gives me only a black screen and nothing happens. do you know why or what am i doing wrong? thanks for your answer. |

I don't think C&C can work with VDMSound. I tryied it myself a long time ago and it refused to work.
On another matter tough, which OS are you using? VDMSound won't work with Win98/95, for example. A 400mh/z is very slow to run this game, even on pure DOS. Trying to run it on DOSBox is pure suicide. |

i get it now so far, that i could open the exe-file with vdmsound. but now the game sais me, that it cant find the cd inside of the cdrom? what happend? :-)
but i think, if the pc can (with the help of vdms) read the cd, the game will run!!! yeah! do anybody know whats the problem here? thanks! |
