Hello Scschlee, I had the same problem a few days ago after re-installing my Red Alert 2 game in Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2). After a bit of digging around, I found out the solution to the issue. You will need to change the short-cut properties for Red Alert 2, to run in compatabilty mode for "Windows 98/ME". This will stop your Skirmish games from ending abruptly after a minute of play. If you are still having problems, I would also recommend downloading the latest patches for the game (Currently v1.006). I download my patches from : http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamefiles?cid=1990437526&tab=files&page=0&eid=-1 I install them in order of: v1.001 v1.002 v1.003 v1.004 v1.006 I don't know what happened to v1.005 Anyway, I hope this helps you out. Darren.

Hello Zayn, I had the same problem with my Red Alert 2 running in Windows XP Pro (Service Pack 2). I eventually solved it by editing the desktop shortcut to run in compatibillity mode for Windows 98/ME - and the Skirmish mode worked after that. You may also want to try up[censored] the game to release v1.006 (Current version at time of writing) - these patches can be downloaded from one source I use : http://videogames.yahoo.com/gamefiles?cid=1990437526&tab=files&page=0&eid=-1 I hope this helps.
