Re: Both Red Alert 2 and Yuris Revenge will not run on windows 11
I have both programs running now. I used the compatibility troubleshooter. Turns out the programs are installed with compatibility set to Windows 7, and the troubleshooter recommended Windows XP, service pack 3. I'm pretty sure this should have been set by the install procedures from EA.
Specific steps:
I went to microsoft and looked for "Make older apps or programs compatible with Windows". It said
"Try running the compatibility troubleshooter:
In the search box on the taskbar, type Run programs made for previous versions of Windows and select it in the results.
Select Next, select the program you're having trouble with, then select Next again.
Select Troubleshoot program (or you can select Try recommended settings to try that).
Select the problem you're having and follow the process."
I ran the troubleshooter, told it this program ran on an older version but won't run now, did the test run through the troubleshooter, and then told it to .save.
