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.
