If you've tried the game on five different PC's then chances are the game is bad and not your PC. Is this an original disc or a copy?

Seen this exact same problem... the game doesn't like ntfs filesystem. Make a small fat32 partition to install it to, and then set the game.exe and a few of the dll's to 95 compatibility mode. Don't install any related directx 5 or 6 which may be with it. If that doesn't work then you can try running it in the dosbox emulator, http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1 but results may be mixed.

There is a free version of C&C gold available. It works quite well. Of course the easiest way to solve the problem would be to install 98 on a fat32 partition along with the game and using a boot manager.
