Community ManagerTry running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 7.
Right click the game executable and click properties, compatibility tab, tick the box for Run this program in compatibility mode for, choose Windows 7. Below that, tick Run as administrator also. Apply, Ok.
The default location of the file to modify is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Red Alert II\game.exe
Hi, thanks for your reply. Unfortunately your solution didn't work, it keeps asking me to insert the CD. Tried compatibility mode as different OS like XP or 98 and still the same.
Community ManagerThere may be some software running in Windows that is causing this behaviour.
Try a clean boot before starting the installation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
I checked for any running software that could potentially interfere with the game but couldn't find anything. I tried the clean boot and reinstalling and also didn't work. I guess that as it is, I couldn't play this game on Win 8.1. Also, Yuri Revenge doesn't work quite well, it is super slow, and trying any solution in the posts mentioned above make it unable to run again (freezes on menu) and need to reinstall for it to run again (slow). Don't know if there's anything I can do besides trying to get an older computer to run them. Thanks for trying to help me though, it is nice to see somebody interested in making things work out
