Help! Hotfix crash vista!

[Guest BDavies]

Hello. I am using Windows Vista.

 

1. I have C&C95. I installed the update, and it works OK. I also installed cnet.

 

2. The network says "welcome to cnet".

 

3. There were no other players. I could not play.

 

4. I then installed the "hotfix".

 

Now, C&C loads, and then :

 

A. Locks up

B. Have to press C-A-D reset. / Program not responding. / End task.

 

Back to square one.

 

What do I need to do to get the hotfix working on vista??

Well, did you install patch 1.06c before the hotfix?

[Guest BDavies]

Well, did you install patch 1.06c before the hotfix?

 

Yes. I will re-do the install steps to make 100% sure everything went alright.

 

As a note, I did install 106c ontop of a Ultimate C&C GOLD SVGA. Then I used the hotfix.

Works with 106c but not with hotfix. Crashes it each time.

 

IF CD not in drive, asks for CD> Click OK > Crashes.

OK. Have reinstalled as follows :

 

C&C Gold SVGA.

 

Then I installed the 106c patch.

 

Then WITHOUT the "hotfix" I ran C&C...crashed as before (Says C&C executable not responding  after C-A-D). So maybe it was not the hotfix after all,

but version 106c. I have run 106a before OK.

First of all, "Ultimate C&C" is a piece of junk.

 

Delete the entire C&C95 folder. Install 1.06b revision 2, install 1.06c revision 1 and then install the 1.06c r1f1 hotfix.
