1. Restart the computer. 2. As soon as the BIOS loads, begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Do so until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears. (If you begin tapping the F8 key too soon, some computers display a "keyboard error" or similiar message. If this happens, restart the computer and try again.) 3. Select Safe mode and then press Enter.

Download the file from here: http://www.speckdrumm.org/EvilOne/d3dx9_25.dll and place it to BF installation folder, to same folder where the main executable is. Now try running the game.

Does the taskbar work in safe mode?

Or this could mean that the file is corrupted. Try reinstalling the game. Btw, you do have the orginal game? Because this is just an expansion.

Quote: Note: now that D3DX is in a .dll you can no longer distributes apps without the DirectX runtime and expect them to work. Windows XP users who keep their machines up to date should all have DirectX 9.0c installed but not the D3DX .dll so will get errors about missing d3dx9_24.dll or d3dx9_25.dll. In affect Microsoft have released DirectX 9.0d without admitting to it! Unfortunately the end user is not automatically downloading the new dll. The only solution is to distribute the DirectX runtime with your app. however if you are providing your app. as a download this would increase its size considerably. You could of course just include the correct dll. although this is against the SDK agreement (EULA). The word from Microsoft is that they are considering ways of solving this issue. Try downloading and installing this: DirectX 9.0c Redistributable for Software Developers - Multilingual, 34.2 MB. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...;displaylang=en

On the installation folder (c:\westwood\redalert) there are setup.exe application, use it to configure your sound card. The sound itself can be choppy, etc. Another solution: Download 1.08 patch. http://www.sharoma.com/ral/files/ra108usp.exe. Copy the file to RA folder, doubleclick it. Then use extracted PATCH.EXE to patch it. Now you have patched the game, create shortcut for RA95.exe. Apply following compatiblity settings to shortcut: Windows 95,256 colors,640x480,Disable themes and turn off advanced text services. Now you should have sounds.
