    hello this is snakedoc,

    i have just installed parallels 3.0 onto my "mac book pro" and have also installed windows xp.

    all is working well.

    BUT, the reason for doing so was to play windows based computer games. i have just installed command and conquer, and the patch: zero hour.
    as i open the game, the first screen opens which shows the picture on front of the cover, as i wait i can hear the disc and computer thinking, but this is where it all goes wrong after a few seconds....my windows xp freezes and the game doesn't load, so i am forced to use the "stop" button on the left side tool bar.

    further on, my questions stands as: how do i get the game to work, and/or am i doing something wrong?

    will be waiting for a reply!

    Zero Hour won't load. Red alert is working....

    Think we have to wait until support for directx 9
