The weird thing is that I used to have both installed and yuri worked. No matter what I do nothing happens each time. I have tried running as administrator and with xp sp3 or 98. When I click install from the auto-run or directly click on the setup.exe nothing happens, not even an error message. I have an original red alert CD set (allied disk, soviet and yuris revenge) and have a windows 7 32-bin Samsung laptop. It also works with cncnet, and can be used to skirmish and other things, so it does have *somewhat* full functionality. This is kind of annoying to have to do though, and the XWIS multiplayer download (that kinky posted a link to) does include a no-cd crack, which would bypass the issue entirely. You will need to have the secdrv service started if you aren't using a no-cd crack, cause its the only way windows 7 will properly recognize the disc and its contents. When you're done playing disable the service by typing in CMD: sc stop secdrv Install the game, and test it to make sure its working. When the black box pops up type: sc start secdrv Click start > type CMD right click it and select run as administrator There is a workaround for it though - which is to manually start the service, then install. There are security flaws with the SECDRV service, so Microsoft essentially disabled it in windows 7. Kinky is correct, its due to copy-write protection.
That's a stripped multiplayer only version though.
