Can't help you, but mine does it too, especially in later missions, no 
matter what patch I use.  I've been living with the problem for quite awhile 
and I haven't got a clue. Anyone?

Hi CyberBob,..

Same thing happens to me after a few levels of play. My guess is that it might 
have something to do with anyone using an kind of editor on the game, like 
CCEDIT or CEDIT. I've used them onthe game, and since found it unstable, and 
liable to these types of errors. Re-install the game, and don't use an editor 
on the game.dat and you won't have any more problems.

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. :^}
