| I found an old game the other day (red alert 2) and thought id give it a go, however it doesnt seem to work. Im not sure if it is the disk (a few years without a case will do that to a disk) or if it isnt compatible. I decided to try a copy of the disk to see if it was readable, and it was successful in the copy, however the same problem came up after i ran that disk (the setup wont run after the auto run) Does anyone else know what to do? or should i just chuck the disk? |

| i dont suppose right clicking on the .exe file of the game, and fiddling around with the compatibility modes would do anything? |
| yeah i gave that a go and my computer froze then had to refresh (that happened before, when running setup). |
| red alert 2 works fine on xp. Try using the other disc (if you used the soviet disc now try the allied one)

| I will work in XP A few people had the same problem your having and to fix it they had to change some of the settings in there Video Card for it to work. Use Google and there is a few web Sites that have the details of what setting to use for it to work.  |
| has anyone got network games working in XP? |
| Which games? Red Alert? Quake3/4? Doom? NFS series? Something you've downloaded illegally from P2P, but checks serial numbers on all LAN clients?

| LAN games still need a PC serving, even if it technically is also one of the clients. Some games check the serials of all clients connecting (even though they are not going back to a master key server on the internet) and refuse connection of multiple clients with the same serial / Key It's a very simple method of keeping people honest. That must be why the non-existant groups fanning the flames of urban myth include multiple mythical serials in the mythical archives, that are, of course, only a figment of everyones mind.

| I just bought Command & Conquer the First Decade and they all work under XP (has all 12 C&C games) - however my original disc of Red Alert (not RA2) will not work under XP - mind you got the shock of my life when I played the original C&C again - it is sooooo bad!!! |
