It works partially for many games. I have even used it for StarCraft in fullscreen mode with the mouse hacks disabled.
Except that the game was released closer to November 17th 1996

That was it! Thanks.
The game runs fine now (practice mode only, of course), with two exceptions: The map scroll speed is very fast, even on the lowest settings, and the menu windows are transparent for some reason (i.e. there is no background and you can see the map or other menus underneath).
Try and set maxfps to 300 in ddraw.ini and HardwareFills to 0 in conquer.ini.
You need to download the full version to get singleplayer.

There is no user with the name "Zizou" on the forums. So I guess that you are talking about the CnCNet lobby. Some lobby moderators have gotten complaints about a "Zizou" as well.
Have you tried any other renderers? The one that works best for me is DxWnd with primary buffer emulation might not be the case for you though. Try and experiment around.
The CnCNet version doesn't have have an altered folder structure. You must be thinking of Rampastring's TS client.
Rampa's TS client is made to give people a starting point to create mods and it includes UMP and things like that.
