not a big gamer

okay so I am admitly not a big gamer and even less educated in the art of working on my comp.

heres the deal though. I recently bought command and conqure the first decade. now the minimum requirements state that 32 bit card or higher and I happen to have a 64 bit card. so when I went to install the game it told me that it wasn't a valid win32 application. heres my question, is there any way at all that I can get the comp to run the game or did I waste my time and money on it?

 

This may be helpful:

From another forum (http://forums.techguy.org/games/445570-command-conquer-first-decade.html):

"I just bought the game yesturday and was having the exact same problem. I finally found that if you open MSConfig, go to the services tab and deselect InCD Helper by Nero AG and restart your computer it should fix it.

If this is not what is causing your problem try following the directions of the following article about performing a clean boot in Windows XP. That is how I found my solution.

so your saying you can make win16 apps or games run on win xp

 

Theoretically, yes, but personally, I've not had a whole lot of luck with it. It's worth a try though.

P.s. has anyone talked to you about getting a laughing emoti/xD in and a straight faced/:| one?
