Red Alert on XP?

[baronvongogo]

sorry, just to say there was a release of all the C&C games on 1 dvd called the first decade. If you cant get red alert working then buying that would probably do. As I have it and all the C&C games work fine.

It was what I had to do. This has been covered loads of times on the internet. Booting from Last known good configuration worked for me.

Go to a shop and look at the price tag...

i think it's like 40 bucks. also, i found a patch online to play Red Alert on XP as changing the compatability functions under properties got me nowhere. you need to install red alert first and then download the patch. i forget how i found it (it is slightly hard to find) but it's all about the way you google it. try "red alert XP update patch". the patch is actually just a bunch of .dll's you need to replace in the c:\westwood\redalert directory so that red alert can run properly. worked well enough i could play my buddy 56k style over my college phone network. all i had to do was dial his extension :] ahh the good old days of easy compatability!

my problem is is that i can't install it at all. when i put in the disk the installation guide comes up then a pop up tells me that Red alert only works on 95 or 98......................then it says accept or cancle either one u press brings you back to the desktop automatically exiting the installation process?
