Red Alert with Windows XP
If you attempt to install and run Red Alert on XP, you'll probably get a message like the following: "Windows 5.1 detected... please use some other version...". However, the game will work fine under XP with both the Counterstrike and Aftermath addons. Here's how:
Insert your Red Alert disc (Allied or Soviet).
Go into Windows Explorer and "explore" the CD.
Right click on "autorun.exe" and click "properties".
Select the compatibility tab and select Windows 95. Tick the box.
Execute "autorun.exe" and install the game as normal.
Download and install the 1.08 update patch.
Execute the .exe and move the resultant files into your Red Alert directory (you can omit the text file).
Execute "patch.exe"
Set the compatibility mode on the RA95.exe in your Red Alert directory to Windows 95 (as above)
The game will now run fine. You can now also install Counterstrike and Aftermath, making sure to do the same thing to each autorun.exe compatibility tab.
If you wish to install the 3.03 patch, do it before you install Counterstrike or Aftermath. You'd probably be best not installing those anyway.
