Ummm Ive been having trouble installing this game on my Xp, but I found a solution, that I just thought I'd share.

Taken from Megagames.com site:

Hey Everyone, OK I got it working today on my XP for the first time, so thanks to the guys who made the patch file.
So to help the rest of you, this is what you got to do:
1. Explore your CD for the Setup.exe and goto the properties of the application.
2. Click the Compatability tab and select Windows95 as the compatibility.
3. Then double click the Setup.exe and instal as normal.
4. Then click the Download tab at the top of this page and click on the ccgoldxppatch.zip link and download the patch.
5. Then extract the file thipx32.dll file to the installed directry and replace the original
6. Select the C&C95.exe and goto the properties of the application.
7. Click the Compatability tab and select Windows95 as the compatibility.
8. Fianlly run the game, and presto!
This work well with the original, but I have no idea if the LAN will work. And now after so long I can re-live the good old days of Command -&- Conquer

Get the patch here

I dunno if this helps only those of us, with the original cd's or not, but I hope it helps anyway.
