Red Alert 2 run error
The menu for Red Alert 2 doesn't show when I run it on my Windows 7 PC. Is there a fix? The game runs if I just hit enter blindly but, since I can't see any of the menu options, I can't choose what...

Thanks for trying. Yes, I reinstalled and ran the install fix. Seems like an odd problem. I dont have it with RA3.
Maybe this works?:
Vista/7 Users should install the game in Admin mode, to do this run Windows Explorer then browse to your DVD drive,
right click on Setup.exe -> Properties -> Compatibility > Tick "Run This Program as an Administrator". Also please install DrectX 9c for Windows Vista (32bit & 64bit)/Windows 7 (32bit) from the following link:

For Windows 7 64bit download & install the DirectX SDK from March 2008:
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en...ng=en&id=10568
Load up both the 32bit and 64bit DirectX Control Panels and enable Hardware Acceleration:
Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2008) -> DirectX Utilities -> DirectX Control Panel -> DirectDraw -> Tick "Hardware Acceleration" -> Click OK
Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft DirectX SDK (March 2008) -> DirectX Utilities (64-Bit) -> DirectX Control Panel -> DirectDraw -> Tick "Hardware Acceleration" -> Click OK
This will mean that all the older versions of DirectX are correctly installed and should avoid problems (mainly with Renegade) of games loading and not showing anything but a black screen
And can you try to look if this solves the problem?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hojMNk93PoU.
Follow the instructions at the video.
That looked like it might work. It seems to describe my problem. Unfortunately, no luck yet. RA2 and YR still show notihng in the menu buttons. Thank you for your help.
