Red Alert 2 CRASH!!!HELP!!!FAST...

Recommended Posts

Hi. So i read many of topics which were about RA2 problems and i see that most recent problem is this one with installation. It's easy to solve, but now i've got some more difficult one. I've installed the game, it starts normally(on my other PC it doesn't even enter to main menu) and when i want to play(skramish or campaning) it runs only about 30 or few more seconds and then all my units and buildings just blow up...I don't know what to do. I've tried to change video modes, compatibility and re-install win. NOTHING!! I've got the same problem on other computer too, on which RA2 works fine with Win98. Now it's XP on this one and this other and the game doesn't work:/ Is it possible that version of WinXP is not good?? I've got the same version on PC in other room and game works. Mabye Video card?? I really don't know!! Mabye someone got same problem as mine and could help me. What i have to do??

My computer:

-2.0 GHZ celeron

-30gb HDD

-768MB memory

-Intel 82852/82855 GM/GME Graphic Controler 64MB

Of caurse it is a laptop, but frined of my got the same laptop(we bought it together) and RA2 works perfectly.

hey i dont know about the whole crash thing but how'd you get RA to install? ive been reading forums and ive seen a couple other people with the same problem as me but no explanations how to fix it whenever i click install or start the setup.exe or whatever an error appears that says "C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\AUTOEXEC.NT. the system file is not suitable for running MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows applications. Choose 'close' to terminate the application" i dont what to do any help would be appreciated i cant even find this system32\autoexec.nt file in my hard drive

If autoexec.nt is missing then thats the cause of the problems as some DOS or 95 games require this to be able to run on XP systems.

You can find a backup copy the config.nt and autoexec.nt files

in c:\Windows\repair. Copy them to your system32 folder.

Do you have a legal copy of Red Alert 2? Basically the exploding units/building is a protection.
