Ive had this laptop for about 3 months and just now decided to start playing Ra2 again...and I installed it but when I click play Red ALert 2 now,like the mini title screen comes up and the game trys to start(as in going into full screen mode) but then just backs out..no error message or anything...

Any suggestions why it won't launch?
Ive tried reinstalling

I dont know to much about computers..but its a Gateway Laptop,video card is the 1 that came with it...I dont think its a problem with that because Generals runs fine...The Ra2 logo comes up and it goes to a black screen then back to windows...no errror messages.

ummm if your running windows XP you will need to change ra2/yuri to run off of an older windows as XP cant run them....to do this...

Right click the icon and go to properties then click on the compatibility tab and change it to run off of either windows 2000, ME, or 98 and it should work.
