VDMS is a sound emulator. While DOSBox needs huge amounts of CPU to emulate an entire DOS environment, VDMSound takes hardly any CPU power at all to emulate just the sound card. Oddly enough, just this small sound card emulator is usually enough to get old games running perfectly. On my XP Pro it gets 90% of all old games running, even those that don't run at all without VDMS.

You just have to make sure the sound settings (Port, DMA and IRQ) you set in VDMS are the same that are set in the game. For C&C you can check those in the config file CONQUER.INI

About that general.mix... if it doesn't work, try this one:

file is general.zip
It doesn't have the German or French stuff though... using this file to run one of the different-language versions may crash the game.
