Vista - need help!! About Command & Conquer game

im using windows vista 32-bit version and requirement to play C&C game is for
windows vista 32 and 64-bit is not supported. so my question is, is there any
idea i can play C&C game? besides that can i using windows vista ultimate
editon or home premium coz my laptop operations system speed is 32-bit...

Just an FYI, If you apply the latest patches, I started at 1.03. you can
play under Vista64. I played probably half the game under Vista64 with no
visible problems. I played the rest of XP, and so far I can't tell any
difference in performance (Granted it's an RTS, so there shouldn't be much
difference)

Also, any version of Vista should be able to play C&C3. I'm not aware of any
special gaming features built into 1 flavor of Vista over the other. I would
expect Basic, to business to Ultimate should all work the same in terms of
gaming.

Currently there are 4 patches out for Command and Conquer 3, with a 5th
patch due out soon. I started with patch 1.03, as patch 1.01 and 1.02 came
out the first week the game was out and I hadn't yet bought the game. By the
time I bought the game and went to install it, they were at patch 1.03.
Without any patches, the game won't run under Vista64. You will get a
message stating you need a Direct X 9.0c video card.

I didn't try patch 1.01 or 1.02, but after applying patch 1.03. I no longer
got that error message and the game has worked fine since. This patch is for
the game and not for Vista, so it works the same with XP, XP64, Vista32 and
Vista64.

In short, grab the patch and you should be all set.

Here's the link to their patches

The easy way to patch the new CnC if think its that your talking about ?
Tibirum wars ?

If so, then put the dvd in the drive, so it runs, run the autorun.exe it
will
proberly ask to run it, except if i set it to autorun.

The a small launcher appears, with 5-6 options depending on installion

Play/install - Check for updates - Readme - Website - Quit - more

You chose the "Check for updates" and it should auto update the game
so you dont have to go around looking for those patches.

Hobe it helps...
If its a older CnC the websites might have changed, so the auto patchs
features dont apply anymore, howewer the patches are found on
ea's website. also those pre EA. since they took over westwood.
