Problems with Command & Conquer free in Parallels

|

EA released Command & Conquer for free. Download CD images and burn. SCHWEEET!!! One of true classics. And in Parallels, it’s more convenient as you don’t even have to burn anything, just connect CD images and off you go.

But there’s a technical problem. It starts up OK on Parallels and Windows XP if you follow the instructions (enable Win95 compatibility mode etc). But the colors are all interlaced and messed up, as it was in 16 color mode or something :( so the whole thing is unplayable. Is there an easy Parallels setting or something that could fix this? I really want to play this thing :) .. but I can’t do so with the broken colors.
