Windows red alert/win2k compatibility

hey, just wondering if anyone has gotten c&c red alert to work with win2k pro. i got the acompat file and red alert install manager thing and its still not working. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance!

 

Is RA freeware now? I know RA2 works on windows 2k Pro, but i'm not sure about RA: maybe it's one of those games which just doesn't work under this OS. It'll definately work in 9x if you can be assed to set up a dual boot or install it on another machine (i'm setting up an old-school games machine atm)

 

Have a look here:

red alert 2 runs fine on win2k/xp, it's red alert that is a pain because it refuses to even install on anything bar win9x

 

Sorry misread the post, see if this helps:
