Followed your tips for RA but they didn't work.

I've only got a DOS version of C&C.

Sorry, but as far as I know there's no set of steps to get the DOS version
of C&C to work properly in NT-based Windows versions. Some people I know
reported success, but it's not to be expected.

Just keeps locking up my system.

I'm pleased to report RA with Aftermath is working fine as are two old
16 Bit games which were confined to a dusty cupboard. By following
your guide and tweaking it for memory usage both are resurrected.

Thanks

I've gotten it to work, but the sound is choppy.  The game's sound card
selections aren't good matches for current hardware.  :-)
