sorry for late reply but im gonna put this here incase anyone else looks for it. a lot of old games dont work on newer operating systems because of a new graphics thing called INTERLACING. its in your display settings and youll be able to google the exact method for your OS. turning this off worked for all command and conquer games as well as (if EA will allow me to name non ea games on here) worms armageddon, total annihilation, baldurs gate and nox. (think nox is EA) hope this helps.
