Ok, I have Windows XP Pro. I have not yet installed any updates as I have just reformatted my computer. I installed Red Alert 2 with a breeze but it will not run at all. I have changed the compatibility to all the possible options and still to no success. I have the newest software for my video card, and i have already updated red alert 2 as well. I just cannot get the thing to run. When i double click the icon it will start running, go to black screen and then go back to windows. No error, no file missing, nothing, it just selfterminates as if I never even opened it.

Also, the laptop that I run it on has windows xp home. I used the diagnostic tool on the cd and both times the program read the wrong processor info hard drive info, etc.

i see. this seems to happen w/ olser games and/or games that are not original to that system. Your game is not reading your new system because it is still formatted to the previous computer(s). The only way that I can think of to fix this problem (because you said it reads your system incorrectly, as if it was a completely different system) is to uninstall the game on as many system as you can (systems that you installed it on), and then uninstall it on your new system and then reinstall it on the same system. This happened to me a lot when upgraded systems.
