Error message while trying to run red alert 1 in xp

I have just bought command and conquer: the first decade for windows xp. All of the games other than the first two (c&c 1 and red alert 1) run fine. (I am running XP through boot camp).
When starting up these two games, I get this error message:
"Error: Unable to set video mode"
These games were designed for windows 95 but I am running it windows 95 compatability mode in xp. They just do not load.
I downloaded the latest patch which was meant to fix this common problem, however it dd not work. I have even gone into the settings folders and upped the screen resolution to 640 x 480 but to no joy.
I have an ATI Radeon HD2400
Does anyone have any ideas?
Andy
p.s. a lot of pc users have this problem to, not just because of my mac i do not think

Be sure to test that the clone boots and apps behave properly.

  • Error message while trying to run combo update

    I get the following error message when trying to run the combo update.
    "You cannot install Mac OS X Update Combined on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update."
    I tried with both 10.5.7 and 10.5.8 and I get the same message.
    Any suggestions?

    1. Be sure you have downloaded the 10.5.8 Combo Installer.
    2. Verify that you have 10.5.x installed by opening About this Mac from the Apple menu. The installed version should be displayed.
    3. Do the following:
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

    Hello,
    Check out this bug, as it matches your exact error message:
    CSCef56507 - HRC/Call Custom Vars rpt does not allow Calling Number to be chosen
    http://tools.cisco.com/Support/BugToolKit/action.do?hdnAction=searchBugs
    The only thing I'm not quite sure is that it supposedly affects CRS 4.x not 5, however I think you can try the workaround on the machine with problems and see how that works.

  • Error message while trying to play rented moves on Apple TV

    I keep getting an error message while trying to play my rented movies. I have rebooted the Apple TV. Lowered the resolution. Restated my modem . Rest my Apple TV. Soft rebooted it and it plays all Netflix and previews in HD no problem just not the movies I have rented !! Extremely frustrated regretting my purchase extremely!! About ready to boycott!

    I have been able to open a few items in iTunes, but have not been able to play even those videos from my Apple TV. I can airplay them from the computer, but cannot access them directly from Apple TV. This is a bit frustrating.

  • Why am I receiving an error message while trying to change my phone number?

    So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."  I was hoping to circumvent the 15$  fee of doing it over the phone. Finally, I decided to do an online chat, the associate did not know why the error was occurring but informed me in order to change my number over chat, i would STILL have to pay the 15$ fee. Something struck me as so wrong there, so conveniently the change features and phone number part of the website was not working, however the view/pay your bill part was always working properly, never received any error messages there. I understood it was not the associates fault however. Still that is wrong. If it was not urgent I would wait. Yes I could have tried the number block, that section was not working either, but having to renew which numbers you want blocked every couple of months makes no sense to me, if I want something blocked, i want it blocked permanently not just for 90 days.  Yes I tried call/SMS blocker apps from the app store but they're faulty in that they still give you notifications of when the blocked person/number called/text or do not always block everything all the time. But when it came down to it, even the associate encountered the error message while trying to change my number. So why is this happening. Verizon is expensive but the reception is better however theirs always issues when I need to fix something. Its frustrating

    Verizon was having a problem on their end, perhaps a server down for some repair or updating. However you were already aware that there was an on-going problem in your own posting and you decided to continue on.I can understand you wanting this done and trying to save the $15.00 fee.  However I would have waited a bit longer until the Verizon issue had been corrected. Yes it is frustrating but again you know in advance of a problem , I can understand that this is most upsetting for you but never try to perform any change when a problem is there and I also do not like to do business on a weekend with no live tech support available.  I'm sure this will all work out for you if given some time.  Sorry. 
    So I have been trying to change my phone number for a few days now and every single time I get this error message, before i even start, "The activity you are trying to perform is currently unavailable. Please try again later."

  • Getting error message while trying to Develop Applications using Oracle ADF

    I have just started learning Oracle ADF. I have installed Oracle ADF 11g (with Oracle 11g database) in my PC. I am an experienced Oracle Forms Developer. While trying to run the application after development in
    Oracle ADF I get the following error message :
    This Project has no default run target. Please choose the file you want to run. Default Run Target:
    and then it gives you a browse option to select default run target file.
    This message always come in any type of application I want to write in Oracle ADF. Can you please tell me what is the possible fix to this issue.
    Installation of Oracle ADF did not show any error message. Oracle Middleware and webserver 11g has been installed before the installation of Oracle ADF 11g.
    I will appreciate any feedback for this. Thank you.

    Let me add some missing information.
    Right clicking a page or java class and selecting run or debug is ONE way to start the application with the page selected or the class selected (if the class can be started).
    Sometimes it's more desirable to always start the application using the same way (e.g. start page in a unbounded task flow) regardless where you are currently working on. So you don't need to find the page in the application navigator.
    For this you can use the 'Run configurations'. These (as you can have more then one) can be used to tell the framework which page or class to start if you hit the run or debug toolbar button. You can edit or create run configurations by using the menu 'run->choose active configuration->manage run configuration' or you open the project properties of the viewcontroller project and select 'run/debug/profile'. Then you get the dialog to edit or create a run configuration.
    Select default (this won is created for you by the framework) and click 'edit'. Then you see the launch settings. If you are using adf task flows you can e.g. select the adfc-config.xml file as 'default run target'. This allows you to select the page to start in the 'ADF Task FLow' sub node. If you now uncheck the 'attempt to run active file...' the framework always start the page you selected from the unbounded task flow.

  • ORA-12705 Error Message while trying to connect to the DB

    A colleague of mine has been trying to connect to the DB through PL/SQL Developer. The error message returned is :
    ORA-12705: invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified
    Checked the registry for NLS_LANG which is set to NA. I did that because the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter. However, I doubt that is the problem. Went about to create a new TNS Name entry through Oracle NET Manager and get the same Error Message while performing the TEST function.
    Any clues ? I am clueless at this point.

    This can occur with any NLS_ environment variable of registry value.
    Your assertion ' the ORA message references the NLS_LANG parameter' is incorrect.
    You can set NLS_TERRITORY, NLS_DATE_FORMAT etc, etc, etc.
    The order of precedence is environment variable, registry, Oracle provided default.
    To find out what is going on set every NLS related environment variable to the empty string.
    In sqlplus
    select * from v$nls_valid_values
    will show you what can be set,
    This error will also occur when you installed the software with English as the only language.
    SQL developer doesn't use tnsnames.ora
    The new tnsname entry has nothing to do with it.
    You have an incorrect environment variable or registry value somewhere
