OT: How to get C&C Tiberian Sun to run on Win XP?

Yah, right-click the shortcut on your desktop, go to properties and click the Compatibility tab. Use the 'Run with Windows 95 compatibility' option.

Install Linux and run it under WINE?

Heh... it would be funny if WINE could run something that standard Windows cannot.

Hmmmm.... it works for me, did you installed the latest patch? when i tried to run the unpatch version i got an access violation so that may be your problem.

There is an edition that was released with the First Decade compilation of Command and Conquer games which, if I'm not mistaken, runs fine under Windows XP.

Other than that, I can't really offer any solid advice, as I don't still have a surviving copy of the original game to try and work through a solution for you. Sorry.

I agree, I had the same problem, and the same solution, get it patched!
