  C&C consistenly crashes on my computer. You can avoid it in
single-player-mode by saving often. Crashes in multi-player-mode make me
PISSED OFF. I have *NEVER* completed a multi-player-game. It's really
annoying. And please don't tell me to check my configuration -- I tried it
all!!! I mailed westwood at ma...@westwood.com TWICE, once describing the
problem with the crashing, and the 2nd time with a bug regarding the GDI's
Orcas (which sometimes won't return to their base or wander of the screen),
but I still haven't received any reply.. So much for their
24-hrs-reply-policy... ;(
