How to install the Red Alert Full version on Windows 7?

[vanguard]

I have downloaded the Full Version from Red Alert 1 (730 Mb) but now it cannot seem to start or run.

 

1) I click on the Full-Red-Alert file and then it starts to extract.

 

2) I get all the AntiVirus/Firewall messages that the game is modifying my files/settings/keys.....I allow them to proceed

 

3) The whole PC hangs/freezes when the ra95.exe is initialized or clicked on. I just get a black screen.

 

My question = How can I play the game on single player mode on my machine?

 

My PC is running Windows 7 with resolution 1366 x 768 RAM 2 GB, Nvidia graphic card....about 4 years old.....I tried to configure the game using the RA Config Tool that is supplied, like changing the resolution to match my screen, but it still hangs.

 

What else do I need to do to run the game?

If the game freezes you should probably change the renderer the game uses.

I already switched between GDI and OpenGL in the Config tool, but to no avail

Yay, I finally got it to work......The problem was I installed it in another drive (G drive) , not the master drive, i.e. C drive....

 

Changing the renderer to Open GL solved the problem.

 

BUT, I do have another question, how to uninstall the Red Alert game in the other G drive?

 

Is it simply deleting the whole FullRA folder?

Yeah, as far as I know you can just delete the folder.
