Red Alert XP Fix

[TheBlackOut 7]

I did as it says, change the compatiblity to 95 and install as you normally would. Well it says as the title, "16 bit windows Subsystem" Descripion, "C:WINDOWSSYSTEM32AUTOEXEC.NE. The system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'Close' to terminate the application"

 

Can someone help me out here?

[TheBlackOut 7]

No one to help me?

[Luk3us 63]

Obviously no one likes you.. Didn't you know? hehehe.... Jokes...

 

I can't help ya out as I just run all my old games on my old 98 comp... See, old technology still has its uses...

[TheBlackOut 7]

MS-DOS wont run on WinXP. It sucks. And theres nothing you can do about it. I cant run Tie Fighter anymore. Or TD. :cry:

[chickendippers 1]

Get a DOS Emulator then - I can't give you a link myself, just Google it.

Well I can disagree, on my friends computer(which runs XP) it worked! I was shocked... I tried to buy my friends comp for 25 dollars but he politely refused

[Cygnus X-1 12]

$25 dollars?!? What is your friend stupid? Thats a fortune! :wink:

:2c:

Is there really a DOS emulator that works? I have an Intel®82845G/GL/GE/PE/GV Graphics controler

 

Will The DOS Emulator handle that? I used to have a DOS Box(type of emulator), and it ran horribly.

Simply change all compatibility to windows 95 and download the xp patch.

go to EAGames support. view the answers for common questions in the RA section. One of them will provide a patch for RA to allow it to be played in XP

[GeneralZ 0]

never mind, their link's not working

[TheBlackOut 7]

Simply change all compatibility to windows 95 and download the xp patch.

Tried and the error came up again.....

[Inferno 22]

I don't know if this is allowed, but admins, you can delete/edit this post if it's not allowed.

 

check ra.afraid.org and download Full RA or Mini RA

[Cygnus X-1 12]

My RA actually works without the patch. I just want a DOS emulator that works so I can play Tie Fighter and Yoda Stories again.

thanks

[TheBlackOut 7]

Even though it will play, the missions I cannot play once I start the first 5secs of the mission, and I was playin scrimage and right when I was about to win it stoped..... It says it cannot read the memory or something. Probably cause I on XP?

[Inferno 22]

Nope although it has some bugs (somethings the colours are screwing up) it runs fine with my xp pro edition.

[Cygnus X-1 12]

You can mess with the colors in the ingame menu all you want.

[Inferno 22]

That's not what I meant. Sometimes it somehow screwes up the colors, which has nothing to do with the color scheme.

 

For example, it made the health bar blue instead of green, and when it supposed to turn red/orange, it turned purple.

[TheBlackOut 7]

It doesn't screw up the colors on mine, just that memory thing. The real reason I want to play RA again is becaused I loved it and the missions are awesome and well-thought out, westwood's great creation I must say.

[Inferno 22]

Yup but I still didn't play out all missions in FullRA....

[Cygnus X-1 12]

Dont know what happened then. My friends FullRA download worked just fine for him.

This means your Windows somehow deleted or misplaced the autoexec.nt file. The MS online help can help you re-make the file... after all it's just a text file. I could just attach mine here if you want. It'll fix the prob.

 

And that's autoexec.NT, btw
