Hi BigAl3000,

Please make a note that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the only version compatible with Windows 7.

Red Alert 2 and Red Alert are not compatible with Windows 7.

See Windows 7 Compatibility for Command & Conquer: Red Alert for more information.

To troubleshoot program compatibility issues in Windows 7, try the following methods:

Method 1: Open the Program Compatibility troubleshooter

Most programs written for Windows Vista also work in Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program doesn't run correctly, use the Program Compatibility troubleshooter to simulate the behavior of earlier versions of Windows.

Method 2: Contact the program vendor or the hardware manufacturer

Contact the program vendor for guidance about how to troubleshoot the issue. Typically, the software vendor's Web site provides a support section that you can use, for example, to search for an error message that you may receive from the program.

Hope this information helps.
