		I've been using scorpio9a's LAN patch, but I switched from Windows Vista 64-bit to Windows 7 64-bit and now the patch stopped working. But it seems to work fine on Windows 7 32-bit. It gives me this error when I try to start Tiberian Sun with the LAN patch: 
 
  
 
Red Alert 2 does start but when I try going to the network lobby I immediately return to the main menu. Anyone know how to solve this?

And also, isn't TS using SUN.exe instead of Game.exe or is that the patch?

Yes, I use TFD. But the patch has worked before on Windows Vista 64-bit, so I don't think that's the problem. 
 
And I used SUN.exe to start the game, but SUN.exe just starts Game.exe so it doesn't really matter. The LAN patch is the wsock32.dll, it enables LAN multiplayer through TCP/IP instead of the unsupported IPX protocol.
