Error message while trying to run red alert 1 in xp

I have just bought command and conquer: the first decade for windows xp. All of the games other than the first two (c&c 1 and red alert 1) run fine. (I am running XP through boot camp).


When starting up these two games, I get this error message:


"Error: Unable to set video mode"


These games were designed for windows 95 but I am running it windows 95 compatability mode in xp. They just do not load.


I downloaded the latest patch which was meant to fix this common problem, however it dd not work. I have even gone into the settings folders and upped the screen resolution to 640 x 480 but to no joy.


I have an ATI Radeon HD2400


Does anyone have any ideas? 🙂
