Ultimate Graphics messed

Hi, just installed C&C ultimate and started playing C&C covert ops. The video graphics are really messed up, everything works but the colors are way off. Seems to only affect the animations prior to game start and during gameplay. I'm running windows 7.

Thanks

This problem was common in TFD edition but it was supposed to be fixed in TUC. Apparently it's not. The old solution was
Downloading ddraw.dll from this location:
http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/#download
and place it in your 'Command & Conquer' folder (same folder as C&C95.exe).
But they have changed the game and stuff so I have no idea if it works with TUC.
