I put the exe in compatibilty mode as "Windows 95" and then I install the patch.

The patch is at: http://www.cncnz.com/features/tech/raxpfix.shtml

If I said anything wrong it is explained there anyway.

1. Uninstall Red Alert 1 if previously installed.

2. Insert a Red Alert CD into your CD-ROM drive. When the autoplay menu appears, choose "Explore CD."

3. Find "Setup.exe," right-click, and choose "Properties." Click on the Compatibility mode tab and set the compatibility to Windows 95.

4. Install Red Alert as you would normally, but do not reboot when it prompts you to.

5. Open up My Computer and navigate to your Red Alert directory (usually C:\Westwood\REDALERT).

6. Right-click on a blank area in the folder, and "Sort by file type."

7. Change the compatibility mode on all of the executable files (about 7-8) to Windows 95.

8. Extract "Thipx32.dll" contained in the zip file you download at the start of this guide to your Red Alert Directory, overwriting the existing Thipx32.dll. (Note this patch will disable network play for Red Alert under Windows XP).

9. Boot up Red Alert and have fun!
