Exactly what patch did you download?
These community-created patches are available for the first four games. The first three are maintained mainly by the people of the CnCNet project, so if you have any specific issues with them, you might want to ask about it on the CnCNet forums.
Command & Conquer 1:
- Nyerguds' C&C95 v1.06c revision 3 patch (which also adds bonus missions originally exclusive to the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions of the game)
Red Alert 1:
- Funkyfr3sh's automatic Red Alert 1 patcher/installer
- Nyerguds' main.mix cleanup for TFD/TUC (Not really needed, but cleans up about a gigabyte of unnecessary files in the RA1 folder. Unpack in the game folder, run "patch_main.bat", let it finish, and then delete the files you extracted.)
Tiberian Sun:
Red Alert 2:
- The graphics system patch DDWrapper is known to solve a multitude of graphics problems, including the "black screen" issue.
Download the zip file and extract "ddraw.dll" and "aqrit.cfg" into your game folder. Then, open the configuration file "aqrit.cfg" in Notepad, change the "ForceDirectDrawEmulation" option to 1, save the file, and try running the game again. - The CnCNet installer for RA2/YR is known to automatically apply a number of compatibility fixes, and it has a tool that includes several choices in graphics system patches, including the above mentioned DDWrapper.

Hey, @Nyerguds
I downloaded Tiberian Sun patch, I've tried fixing the problem but nothing seems to work - I completed the story line now so I'm all good, that's all I wanted to do.
The long loading seems to only happen on missions, I don't have to wait for so long when I'm in skirmish matches. Not sure if that's normal. Anyway Thanks for your help.

Ohh. Yeah, I think long loading times on missions are a pretty normal thing, actually. And there's not much anyone at EA can do about that, 18 years after the game was made...
