Can you explain a bit better? Like give a screenshot or quote what exactly happened?

Personally, I think you might not have set the compatiability mode.

ok igot past the first hurdle now this. it happens when ever i try to run the game
(ps i have tried it incompatibility modes)

i have a simialar problem with dawn on first decade, the game starts but a blue box pops up and says OUT OF RANGE. i can here the sounds from the intro vids but i can't see them. i used to have yoyr problem too but then i did something and it worked again. And thsi all kinda sucks because dawn is cool and haven't been able to play it!

you need this patch, it says C&C Gold, but it works on TD and Red Alert

Note: you are unable to play on multiplayer (excluding skirmish) with this patch, but at least singleplayer and skirmish work

You gotta be very lucky to catch anyone online on TD anyway...

I play TD on our school lan occasionally, but we did have a few problems trying to connect :(

Shadowborn,there is another way of running the game without the frequency out of range error,Open your red alert folder. and click on red alert setup (ull notice it) and then, click on the bottom run in 800x600 resolution.

Thank you twizted772 = = = = Whaoo! Finally the dawn has come!

err how do you accses skirmish i cant see how is ther another patch?

I don't think Tiberian Dawn has any skirmish mode ;]
There's just Singleplayer and Multiplayer (Online, LAN)

yea i used to play lan agsint my bro tis was fun

this is y i thougt it had skirmish

He's just wrong I'm afraid
TD has no skirmish.

You have an old monitor don't you? My buddy just got a brand new PC and tried playing San Andreas, got the same error. It's his monitor because it's so old, it doesn't support the resolution SA plays at. Either change the resolution to one your monitor supports, or go get a new monitor.

There's also the "run in 640x480" option in the compatibility settings...

Anyway, for installing C&C1 and RA1, I always follow Planet C&C's guide. It's the best one I've ever seen.

Of course, nowadays you can add Scorpio's DLL patch from strike-team.net to it to get functional LAN & online play too.
