red aleart 1 is not running well on my windows 7 pc please help

RA.exe should be the right one. Make sure that you use a compatibility setting from before the Vista (Windows 95, Windows 98 or Windows XP with SP3)

You might need to check the Disable display scaling on high DPI settings, too. But try  with only OS check first.

nope that didnt work (screenshot http://imgur.com/a/2fvkc)  


btw thank you for replying i opened a live chat request with EA an hour before and i posted this and they still haven't responded 

btw i can run the game using origin but when it starts the cutscenes dont work when

i pressed esc to get to the main menu

at the main menu i can move around with the arrow keys and enter but i cant starts a match without choosing the difficulty using the mouse
the cursor is laggy soo laggy that its take 5 seconds for the cursor to move (teleport) from a place to another 

when i tried pressing esc key multiple times i glitched in a match somehow the match looked like a test map or something cuz i was stuck on an island with a broken bridge and just one soldier anyway on that map the cursor was moving normally and i was able to move the soldier around   however as soon as i press the esc key to get the menu to abort the mission the cursor lag returns . 

Ah, frag it. Still has the old DOS files included. 🤨

RA95.exe should be the correct one. Use the Win95 or Win 98 compatibility

hmm i thought it might be a DOS game though im only 17 and never used DOS

but no it looks like EA have modified the game to stop pirates by disabling the ra95 file 

and instead using RA95Launcher.exe  which only runs the game if origin is on 

and using any compatibility settings on that file would be applyed on origin it self (if it was off) instead of  the game

did i also mention that sometimes when i minimize the game the colors of the menu get inverted ?

come on EA i bought a legal version to

avoid  technical problems 

and

get a version with full cutscenes 

cutscenes aint working (just can hear them)

and the game is unplayable 

now they are modifying the game to make sure they get their 1usd  from a 1995 game ☹️

hehe same problem with command and conquer 1 they kept all of the 1995 files including westwood chat 🙂

but they have disabled C&C95.exe

God...So glad that i have my old retail discs...For the colors, check in compatibility mode reduced color mode and select 16 bits. Should solve the color problems...Still scratching my head of the why EA won't let GOG do their magic on C&C, just like they did on a number of the old EA games (Ultima, Kyrandia, Lands of Lore, Theme Park and so on). It would be a win-win. EA won't have to deal with us and we won't have to jump through hoops to make the games work.

yeah you are right 

anyway since none of EA's staff replied here i will try to chat with wtih them for the last time

if they didnt answer i guess i will have to "DOWNLOAD" the game

its not stealing because i have already bought the games right ? 

Depends from country to country. So, you need to consult a local lawyer about that🙂
