Yeah, but that's not a patch for the game itself (??) I mean, it's not made for it, it doesn't have right out of the box compatibility and usually that warrants a game to be withheld from stores.

No, my bro bought a brand new copy, he said it didn't work, (Error: You need at least W95) and that was a few weeks ago.

One question, when I play Tiberium Dawn, why does the sound get all choppy and messed up?

Look I know what i'm talking about. I bought the game myself in the DVD package and I can play it right now straight on windows XP with the patch made for red alert.

But it doesn't work, that's all I'm saying, we bought it and it still has the error, I don't know if the CD convulsed into itself and lost some data or what, but he had to send it back, they sent him a brand new one, it didn't work, he sent it back AGAIN, the third time it worked.

So I this is what I don't get.

Are you talking about the bundle? Because of course it would work.

No i'm talking about the DVD case version of red alert.
If you can't find the patch on the CD you can download it here

but you said it yourself, something was flawed on the cds... which doesn't change the fact that it is still widely being sold and thus not abandonware.

But why when I play Tiberium Dawn is my sound choppy. It's like someone put their hand in front of a microphone of the middle of the sound.

I have the same problem with Red Alert 2 and the same problem when I tried to run the original red alert under dosbox.
