If you downloaded Red Alert from redalert1.com, open up ddraw.ini and set maxfps lower.

 

If you didn't download Red Alert from redalert1.com, download cnc-ddraw from http://hifi.iki.fi/cnc-ddraw/

 

Remember to enable Back Buffer in rasetup.exe.

i already downloaded the cnc-ddraw and the maxfps is on zero. scrolling problem is still there

Set maxfps to something like 60 or 80.

I personally recommend maxfps = 120. It avoid vertical desyncronisation ( at least your eyes wont note it). But if in 120 the scrollspeed is so fast, then put it lower

So, I used to be a fan of this game and went about the exodus of trying to install this today.  I also have the mouse scroll issue, but just about everything you guys wrote about went way over my head.  Is there any guide book for dummies?  I tried to install cnc-draw, but I couldn't even remotely get it to install or work.  Then, all of your suggestions to make adjustments...so far over my head I felt quite stupid.  Does anyone have a soft place in their heart for dummies like me?

What Red Alert are you using? DDraw with the maxfps set at 120 attached in zip. Unzip it and place the ddraw.dll and ddraw.ini in the redalert folder. Than double click on rasetup.exe and check mark the Back Buffer in Video Memory.

 

Notify me of replies on.

Wow!  Thanks!  I've read on other pages about changing the screen resolution...I suppose you know how to do that too.  Should I go to another topic for that?

I used it once. You can get it here.
