Win XP won't let me start all over again

Ratbiter · 23-06-2008, 08:32 PM

I was an avid C&C player and have all the disks from C&C up to C&C Generals when I stopped playing. Now I find I have time on my hands and i want to start playing the seris from the beginning and if I get addicted like I was before I'll soon have the rest of the disks to make my gaming life complete.

But I now have Windows XP and It won't let me play C&C95, even if I select Win95 mode I get an error message "C&C95.exe - entry Point Not Found"
So I'm turning to the veterans of C&C to assist me in my battle to get me back onto the battle fields

Chickndipp what do i need to do when it says install.exe is not a valid win32 application?

chickndipp · 24-06-2008, 04:03 PM

Do you have a 64-bit version of Windows XP?

Ratbiter · 24-06-2008, 05:21 PM

I have no idea. How can I check this? And If so, what do I need to do to fix it?

chickndipp · 24-06-2008, 08:16 PM

How to determine whether your computer is running a 32-bit version or a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system

Derrickz · 24-06-2008, 08:26 PM

Thanks, yes it is 64-bit. Now what? :S

chickndipp · 24-06-2008, 09:39 PM

As far as I know it's not possible to install 16-bit programs on 64-bit systems. Perhaps you can find an emulator or something?

Derrickz · 24-06-2008, 09:40 PM

Haha I have no idea what that is either...

it is impossible to install C&C95 as it uses a 16bit installer (very foolish but nothing to be done) I think Nyerguds has a solution though so holde on! I'll go look for it...

I had a quick look on yahoo answers..
Most of this is what you have already tried, but there seems to be some other stuff there.

Command & Conquer 95, XP installation? - Yahoo! Answers

Hope it helps.

Frankaz · 07-07-2008, 11:18 PM

stuff he's already tried, as the installer is 16 bit and the os is 64 bit it won't work correctly... I pm'd him nyerguds solution though & I think he's got it working???

Stevo82 · 08-07-2008, 10:14 AM

I'm in exactly the same boat as ratbiter, read all the info and can't get my original to work. Funny that I am not the only one coming back to the original again!!!

Frankaz, Could you plese send me what you kindly sent him to get it to work please?

Frankaz · 08-07-2008, 07:07 PM
