Cant get Red Alert 2 To work!

[HunterICX]

I've been trying to get this game to work yesterday for quiet some hours....

The installation goes perfect,
no errors.

but as soon as I start the game
I see the Red Alert start up screen...the whole screen goes black for 1 sec and I'm back to desktop....

now I really tried everything on the internet to make it work
patched it up, installed the game with both CD's
tried every compability (95, 98/Me, win2000)
no luck...I red that SP2 caused problems but my windows XP pro doesnt contain any updates nor service packs...

I was so much into picking a old game back to the surface to conquer the whole bunch...but my guess is that there is no way to get it work on my current rig.
dammit:stare: :damn:

Havent played the original RA2 on my rig, but I have the C&C Decadence and that packages RA2 works fine.

I recently reinstalled RA2 with the YR expansion a couple weeks ago. With the announcement of Red Alert 3 I wanted to relive the glory days of smashing Allied units with my Apocalypse tanks. :lol: This game will never get old. The graphics never get old. I got this game when it came out and the expansion when it came out. I can't believe RA2 is 8 years old and YR 7. :damn::dead:
