Red Alert 2 extreme lag

I have a Lenovo Yoga X1 with Windows 10 and downloaded Command & Conquer Ultimate Collection form Origin and tried to play Red Alert 2.  It opened and it was a frozen screen with the audio running fine.  Then 10-15 seconds later, the screen changed to the scene that matched the current audio.  This continued every 10-15 seconds.   I found out that when I press the volume up or down buttons it snaps to the display that matches the audio but remains frozen.  Every time I press these buttons it corrects itself.  It looks like I'm running a slideshow.   I obviously can't play the game while pressing the volume button repeatedly the whole time.  I tried altering the compatibility settings but no luck.  I looked online and saw something about putting Videobuffer=No in the video portion of the configuration settings but there wasn't a video part in my RA2 or RA2MD configuration settings.  Only multiplayer preferences.  Please help.  If this doesn't get solved then i just wasted $20 and you lost a future customer.

  • Managed to find the main config file but couldnt find the RA2MD Config File to fix that, the lag issue is still a present issue, but its gotten a little better since i updated the Config for RA2. is there usually a slower frame rate on this game? i havent played RA2 in about 5 years, mostly focussing on the newer games and the Remastered Collection, so am i spoilt for the fact that im not a fan of the frame skips, or is that how the game usually runs and i never noticed it before?

    cheers
