| 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)

| 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!!! |
