How to Troubleshoot Command and Conquer 2: Tiberian Sun

"Command &Conquer: Tiberian Sun" is a real-time strategy game for PC released in 1999. The game was rereleased in 2006 as part of the "Command &Conquer: The First Decade" compilation pack. As of February 2010, the game was declared freeware and users can download it legally. Running the game on modern operating systems, such as Windows 7, can generate error messages, but after some troubleshooting, the game will be perfectly playable.
