I am using a fairly recent install of Windows XP Home edition with Service Pack 2. I also recently (as in, within the last two hours) installed C&C: The First Decade, and the install went fine, but when I get into the games, there are no graphics - I am looking at a blank screen (I can not even get into the older ones). Anyone know what the problem is and how to help?
EDIT: Red Alert 1 comes up with an error about the video buffer or something.

In case you didn't read this thread (http://forums.cncden.com/showthread.php?t=20306), I already had everything working fine. The reason I made a new thread on the same subject as this one was because everyone ignored this one until you posted in it a few days ago. Before then, this thread was 2 months old.

It might be either your monitor or graphics card.
