Hah.

After the CnC Nostalgia thread, i decided to re-install Red Alert, possibly just to see Einstine shake Hitler's hand and warp him back to the stone age. Yeah, that was cool. Anyway, I load it up, and then 'This Windows version is 5.1. Red Alert can only run on Windows 95.'

Will backwards compatability fix it? Can i somehow get the FMV without ruinning my sense of Red Alert's awesomeness? I know that if i actually play it i'll go 'What, i had FUN playing this thing?' and then shove it into a dark corner and never touch it again, so that'ld be way cooler.

Thanks in advance.

(Ps Applies to Red Alert 2, except RA2 i could actually install. Damn you Yuri!)
 
Have you tried running in compatibility mode with Win 95?
 
I had the same problem.. was a while ago, can't quite remember how I got it working.. uhh google it :P Sorry I can't be more precise, there's something you can download to get it working I believe.. and you have to install it in Win 95 compatibility mode..
