    Go to your C&C directory, run ccsetup.exe and set the screen resolution to 640x480 (or, with the 1.06 patch, 1024x768 )
    Also try changing the refresh rate on your monitor to 60 Hertz:
    Control Panel > Display > Settings > Advanced > Monitor (XP)
    Control Panel > Personalization > Display Settings > Advanced Settings > Monitor (Vista)
