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...

And can you follow these instructions?: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tMxSELxEH8.
Or is it the same?
That was a great suggestion. Unfortunately, I still can't get it to work. The part that I can't do using either suggestion is to detect a second monitor. I'm using a desktop and it only detects that monitor. Maybe that has someting to do with it.
Thanks for your help.
And maybe you can try this:
- Right click on Desktop
- Select Screen Resolution
- Click Detect (with no additional monitor connected)
- Next to your first display, you'll see a grey square with the text "Another display not detected" Click on the grey square
- Next to "Multiple displays" it will say "No display detected"
- Click on "No display detected"
- A drop-down menu will appear
- Select "Try to connect anyway on: VGA"
- Click on your primary display (the square with the big "1" in it)
- Next to "Multiple displays" select "Extend these displays"
Hit the Apply button and start Red Alert 2 and/or Yuri's Revenge.

Yes, I tried that with the other two methods. Nothing happens when I click Detect.
Thanks for your suggestion.
There's a kind of workaround: Alt-tab out of the game and then Alt-tab in again and you'll see the menu.
- Approved
Thanks. I did that. It's just hard to use the pull down menus when you can't see the choices.
So you mean that Alt-tab doesn't resolve the problem?
- Approved
Yes, the alt-tab does work as a work around but it's really time consuming. Especially if you have to use the drop down menus to change the settings.
Thank you for your suggestion.
