Subject: C&C freezes when trying to multiplay!


  I have encountered a bug in Command & Conquer 1.07, 1.18p, and 1.19p 
when I attempt to play over the modem.  I can succesfully set up my 
modem: COM3, IRQ 4, 14.4kbps, no call waiting string, and ATZ as an 
init string.  When I go into dial, choose the person to dial, and 
click the 'Dial' button, or when I click on the 'Answer' button, C&C 
freezes and the soud begins to loop.  I cannot hit CTRL+ALT+DEL, as 
that does nothing.  I either have to hit reset or turn the power off 
and on.  I have an AT&T Dataport Faxmodem 14.4.  My computer is a 
486dx2/66 with 8 megs of RAM, Trident 8900 video card with 512k of 
DRAM, Gravis Ultrasound Max soundcard, and a 2x speed CD-ROM.  I run 
M$-DOS 6.22 without Windoze (I would prefer Linux, but my parents won't let 
me).

  My config.sys is as follows:

DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=EMM386.EXE NOEMS NOVCPI HIGHSCAN I=B000-B7FF MIN=0
BUFFERS=20,8
DOS=UMB
LASTDRIVE=E
FBCS=1,0
SWITCHES=/F
DOS=HIGH
DEVICEHIGH /L:1,11776 =C:\DOS\ATAPI_CD.SYS /D:MSCD001
SHELL=C:\DOS\COMMAND.COM C:\DOS\ /P /E:512
STACKS=9,256
BREAK=ON
FILES=40

  My autoexec.bat is:

@echo off
SET ULTRASND=220,5,5,5,7
SET ULTRADIR=C:\ULTRASND
SET BLASTER=A220 I7 D1 T1
SET ULTRA16=32c,0,0,1,0
C:\ULTRASND\ULTRINIT.EXE -ej
LH /L:3,23136 C:\DOS\MSCDEX.EXE /D:MSCD001 /M:8 /E /S
LH /L:3,15072 C:\MOUSE\MOUSE.COM SER 2
prompt $p$g
SET MOUSE=C:\MOUSE
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
set ROOTDIR=c:
set TMPDIR=c:/tmp
set SHELL=c:/bin/sh.exe
set HOME=c:
set LOGNAME=mks
set TZ=PST
set PATH=C:\BIN32;C:\BIN;C:\DOS;C:\MOUSE;C:\PKWARE;C:\ULTRASND;C:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\DJGPP\INCLUDE;

  I would appreciate any help that you might be able to offer.  I can 
provide more information upon request.  Also, _please_ don't act as if I 
am the ordinary, foolish computer user as so many tech support people do.  
I am quite computer literate.

  Anyway, what's really weird is that C&C worked the day before this 
started happening.  (No, I didn't change anything)  Can anyone help me 
with this?  Thank you.

same problem, exept it freezes DURING the game. Sux dosn't it?
