Follow the instructions in our Red Alert Windows XP Fix guide located at http://www.cncnz.com/features/tech/raxpfix.shtml

 

It takes you through the process of installing and setting up Red Alert to run under Windows XP.

my dad was addicted to the first RA game some years ago

but you know....as time goes by...........

 

now he has windows ME installed and I can't persuade him to

install XP

 

anyway I install Ra on ME but it can only run in DOS

cause when I want it to run in windows, it does nothing

 

I believe I've read somewhere that RA1 's not compatible

with windows ME, is this true?

 

anyone who has info about this???

It should work fine under Windows ME. It's Windows 2000/XP which give all the problems.

RA1 includes both Windows and Dos on the CD.

when you've installed RA

you can choose to play RA either in DOS or in Windows

 

and the first time I want to play in DOS the systems says

that the sound card needs to be configured, so I do this.

then afterwards I can play in DOS

 

but then when I choose to play RA in Windows, nothing happens

 

I read on EA support that it's not compatible with ME so....

hey i've tried the guide on planetcnc.com, but it still doesn't work for me.

i keep getting a message that i'm "unprivileged" to play the game.

i have installed the 1.08 patch and i used to 'complatibility mode' thing.

i've changed all the applications in the RA folder that way.

but still nothing.

is anyone fermiliar with that problem?

or does anyone have a sollution to it?

EA says you have to be Addministrator to play...

I dont know about this. I didnt patch my RA, I just installed it in compatability for Win95 and it runs fine. I have XP on my machine now.
