hello there every1 i'm new to the site and i've just bought C&C tiberian dawn and i'm trying to run it on Win XP but when i try to open the setup file the screen goes blank briefly then returns to the desktop i've done all the compatibility stuff but it still does the same thing can anyone help me?

What if you copy the "autoexec.nt" and "config.nt" files from "c:\windows\repair" folder to "c:\windows\system32" folder?
(Replace the "c:\windows" to your windows folder.)

thanks for the tip but still no luck with it unless i did something wrong i'm not entirely sure what you meant by Replace the "c:\windows" to your windows folder. Thanks

I meant that if your Windows XP installation folder is different than c:\windows, for example c:\winnt, then you'll need to use it.

I do not have C&C any more, so I can not help much...

But does the Installation CD have two installation applications?
e.g. Setup.exe, Install.exe.

I am asking this because, I have C&C RA (1) and to install it, I have to use DOS version of the installer. The Windows installer did not work in my system, not even in compatibility mode.

And download Windows XP patch for tiberian dawn, from: http://www.cncnz.com/files/tibdawn/patches.shtml

yeh it does have both of those files but it does just the same thing for both files.
1 other thing i have noticed is that after opening the installer files if i hit alt+ctrl+del and go to the processes tab setup.exe or install.exe (which ever 1 i opened) are in there but i cant access them in any way

Anybody have a clue why it does this? I have tried both Win95 and WinNT compatibility modes and they didn't do anything. If you know how to get around this, please do help me and others.

Hi

I installed the TCP-com server.
status: TCP/IP status:listening

If I click null modem with the server's pc nothing happens if I click null modem with the other pc on this netwerk it says:
'Not a null modem cable attached! It is a modem or a loopback cable'

I use normal UTP cables for this network. So what's the porblem, what do I do to make the lan plan work?

Greetings Floris

As it says: "Not a null modem cable attached!"

"
"A specially designed cable that allows a user to connect two computers directly to each other via their communications ports (RS-232 ports)."
"

You can create this cable.
Like:http://www.lammertbies.nl/comm/info/RS-232_null_modem.html

Or Google for "create null modem cable".

I don't understand do I have to buy such cable or is it a digital one?
