Recommended Posts

Ok I have win 2000 trying to install red aler, I get message: currently running win 5.0, red alert is a win 95 product only...

So i try to do compatibility mode and it will not let me go to compatibility mode and so I cant even get the program installed

Please help!

Thanks so much.

The site was useful because I did get it to work in compatibility mode but when the install shiled installs, I get the following message: Win 5.0 is currently running, Red alert is a Win 95 product only.

could anyone help me with this?

Right, Inferno. That's going to help him SO much during the INSTALL <_<

 

Not to mention the official RA1 1.08 patch does a better job, and without disabling LAN play.

 

So yes, newsflash, that patch was made for C&C95 and should NOT be used for RA1 AT ALL.

Umm... you seem to be misunderstanding some things here... doing that regsvr32 stuff doesn't put your PC in Win95 compat mode... it just enables you to use compatibility mode. You still have to apply compatibility mode to the shortcut you made of RA's setup.exe

actally i figured it out, you have to set the autoplay to win 95 compatibility mode, doing setup only dosent work
