Problems playing Command & Conquer 95 + Red Alert 95 on Win98SE parition

Asked by 4aces4 in Miscellaneous Games

Hi,

I used to play C&C 95 + Red Alert 95 on my PC but since I got WinXP I was no longer able to play these games. I read forums online to allow you play these games on WinXP but this disabled network play and I didnt want this. So therefore I added a Windows 98SE partition to my PC. So now I have a Win98se & WinXP bootable options on my PC. Both which work fine and I have a Win98 SE partition to run C&C 95 and Red Alert 95.
Unfortunately after all my hard work, C&C 95 and Red Alert 95 doesnt work when running Win98se. When I try to load the games nothing happens. I can see the process running in the application list when I look in the Task Manager window but no game loads at all. I can load the DOS version of Red Alert but this has no LAN play (which is the whole reason why I'm doing this).

I suspect the problem could be the resolution of my PC. I have tried changing the settings from 32bit to 16 bit and the pixel size to 800X600 but no luck there.

My PC specs are Pentium 4, 1.7Ghz, 768RAM, 64MB video card, using a NVidia GeForce 2 MX/MX 400 card and have the latest Direct X software.

So should this of worked? Has anyone any experience with this?

Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
