I had a few problems with the original CnC and a LOT of problems with 
Covert Ops. Fortunately I've resolved them all. 

1) The little addendum booklet with CnC clearly states the you should
only run CnC without EMS. Check your config.sys for a line containing
EMM386. Make sure the only argument to this is "NOEMS".

In fact, since CnC uses DOS4GW you don't even need EMM386 (see below).

2) Covert Ops seems to take a little more memory than CnC. I found that
my crashes seemed to occur more often when there were large numbers of units
doing lots of things. I created a boot disk with only my mouse and cd-rom
drivers on it and everything seems to be happy now. 

Of course, this only applies to DOS. If you're using Windows or W95
then you're screwed. :^}
