I actually find it easier to just copy the contents of the folder in the zip file to my root descent directory. I've taken the liberty of uploading my configuration file for d2x rebirth.

I second that. Make sure that its a method that isn't easy to screen capture. A good example would be what's in use at SGW. (FYI, the code there changes ever half hour)

If you install C&C 3, don't go past the 1.04 patch. After that, they started screwing with the gameplay. They ruined the game after that. The older games are already patched to whatever the latest versions are.
