Set to Windows XP Service Pack 3. Problem now solved! Hurrah!

You posted the links in various threads. I kinda followed your posts around, hoping to get to the bottom of it. I had your launcher and so far it's the closest I've gotten to the game working. I think you're right that I got the game to work using ts-ddraw, but the framerate was poor. I wish there was some way to get the game to work but I think this laptop + O.S makes it impossible short of doing something like setting up a virtual machine maybe... Good news is that Red Alert works.

I've tried pretty much all the settings in your launcher, I tried your alternative game.exe and I tried putting your ddraw.dll in the folder. It loads the game on some resolutions/settings, but then it lags in-game. Pretty much unplayable. Glad you're here btw!

Maybe you can help me. I'm trying to run Firestorm in Win 8, on a laptop. I have managed to find settings using your launcher that allow the game to work, but it's still very slow. What could I possibly do? I've tried all the options and every single resolution available to me.
