Not really a patch, but I wouldn't want to hold this information from you. Capo, CplFilth and Ima Pseudonym wrote some posts on the old ClubSSI forum on how to fix the video error for Win95 users. I took the liberty to copy that page and post the text here.

Do you play games online? Case's Ladder runs leagues for hundreds of the most popular Internet playable games, including Close Combat....
When the unofficial Close Combat Sites; cc2 center and cc3 center went down, the maker started working on a new close combat center... Some background information and some useful links, but it was never really finished, except for the forum that's used by many Close Combat fans. The old main page is still up and running at foxhole.thegamers.net/index.asp.
CombatHQ is a online multiplayer
strategic game for Close Combat. In order to play you
need a legal copy of Close Combat Invasion Normandy.
The purpose of this web site is to allow for campaigns to
be played with more than two players. Given the time
commitment required by two players to complete a grand
campaign the likelihood of completing it against another
human is small. By forming a team of players the time
commitment decreases. You also now have excitement of
having to rely on others to hold your flanks!
This game was designed and developed by Gerry Shaw of
OrganicBit Software for the enjoyment of others.

This sound mod fixed the MG-42 machine gun sound, the U.S. Sniper Rifle now sounds as deadly as it truly is! When you hear the crack of this gun reverberating through your speakers, you will be scouring the map looking for that damned sniper! The ambient sounds have been enhanced to create more of a sense that a larger battle is going on around you. All in all, they don't redefine the sound file, only enhances it.

Thomm designed a program that reads the map data from cc5 and generated new overview maps with this tool that shows the height differences on the maps and the different types of terrain. You can download these overview maps here. Just unzip them in your cc5\maps directory and they will be available to you when you play the game.

Based on the principles of the VetMods for CC3 and CC4, two brand new CC5 VetMods are ready for action. Available is a German VetMod, intended for play as human german against an agressive and powerfull US AI and also a US VetMod intended for play as human against a powerfull defensive oriented German AI. (note : both mods can only be used agianst the AI and are not suited for H2H play)
This mod changes a lot of details about the game. Most of them are little change so that historical fact and game balance in the game will not change.
The mod is also available at La Bataille de Normandie www.chez.com/ablaze6783/cc5/pages/tele.htm, where a desctiption of the patch is available.
