Recently I've had a few questions regarding Command &
Conquer:Red Alert and Microsoft Windows 2000/XP. This is not a
problem, and all it takes are these three easy steps:
- Insert your original Command & Conquer:Red Alert CD
in your CD-ROM player. When the automatic installation program
starts, just exit it. Double-click on My Computer and navigate
to your CD-ROM. Remember that you might have to right-click your
CD-ROM and chose "Open" if you have Autoplay activated.
- Find the file named SETUP.EXE and right-click it with your
mouse, then chose "Properties". Navigate to the "Compatibility"
options in this window, and select "Windows 95" under "Run this
program in compatibility mode for". Click "OK" to save the
setings, and double-click on SETUP.EXE to install the game like
you normally would.
- Download the latest
patch and save it to the directory where you installed the
game. Double-click RA108USP.EXE first, then double-click on
PATCH.EXE.
- Find the file named RA95.EXE and process it the same way you
did with SETUP.EXE in step 2. You are now ready to play Command
& Conquer:Red Alert under Microsoft Windows 2000/XP!

Added a page about the upcoming game Command
& Conquer:Red Alert 2. Don't know exactly when it'll be
released, and knowing Westwood we shouldn't make any estimates
either.

Site has moved. Due to change in employment we've had to move
our server to a different location. Hope this hasn't caused any
major problems for our "fans". Also, just a short time
before we reached 100,000 visitors we had to reset our
hit-counter. Don't be fooled, you're not one of the first to visit
us.

tricks.
04.22.98
Lately there have been questions on how to gain access to
various structures and units, that's why we have put together a
little hierarchy showing what you
need to build before you can unleash all the cool gadgets on your
enemies. Anyway, we would advise you all to play the missions,
that way you will gradually learn how to use all the different
structures and units.
03.03.98
The complete site is imported into Microsoft FrontPage 98 and
upgraded. Added the new Aftermath units to the units
& structures pages. The download
page is also upgraded, and the same goes for the savegames
page. The links on all pages should be ok, but please let us know
if this isn't the case.
08.17.97
Re-written most of the HTML documents, re-arranging the
tables. Adding some additional information on the units
& structures page. The download
page was a complete mess, now it isn't.
08.08.97
WChat 4.0 is a fact. When you try to log on with WChat now,
you will be notified that there is a new version 4.00 of the WChat
available. You will need this version to play through WChat, and
this version also is incompatible with Microsoft Windows versions
prior to Microsoft Windows 95.
08.07.97
The Aftermath
page is initiated with information on the all-new mission pack
from Westwood Studios.
It's been a while since we've updated this site, but we'll try
to get back in shape now.

page is updated with some more information about the companion
disk map. We also have included information about how to play the
secret Giant Ant missions.
04.06.97

also noticed that we are missing some savegames, so if anyone can
help us out, please do!

Made some work on the links
page, sorted them alphabetically and added some more links. Made
some changes to the tankrush
page.
03.22.97
The faq page is a fact.
Here you will find answers to questions other people have asked
us, both on the game and our site. Made some cosmetic changes to
the hole site. Finally got around to running a spell check on all
texts, and it was needed, believe me.
03.21.97
Added some more links to the links
page. We're sorry, but we can not link all the suggestions we
receive. We only pick out the ones we find interesting to the
public. We'd also like to apologize to all of you who haven't
received an answer to your e-mail, but we can't respond to all of
you as quickly as we'd like. Maybe we should make a FAQ page in
addition to the ones we have?
03.20.97

page, and added some more FAQ's and other documents on playing the
game. Added a new links to
Roger Wong's site containing information on strategies.

...other news. Westwood has announced that they will release a
patch later this month. The patch is now undergoing beta testing,
and will contain the following bug fixes:
- Fixed score screen crash.
- Multiplayer save/load for network and modem play added.
- Player can no longer ally with the computer.
- Fixed -destnet parameter in Win95 which allows net play
across bridges/routers.
- Fixed random seed at start of multiplayer games so players
starting position will be random.
- Will now force the correct CD load after scenario 1 of
Soviet and Allies.
- Fixed crash which happens if an Internet game aborts too
quickly.
- Fixed multiplayer score screen so vessels show up in the
tally.
- Improved the multiplay dialogues.
- The ability to build over a flag (in capture the flag) and
thus hide it, has been fixed.
- An "advanced modem settings" dialogue has been
added to fix the problems they were having with U.S. Robotics
33,600 modems.
There are several minor fixes that will be done also, but has
not been included in this list. The fixes will be available as
download, and included on the Counterstrike mission disk.

so. Did some work on our gateway
to other cool sites...
03.09.97
The maps page is divided
in to separate pages, we are trying to keep the pages at a maximum
of 10 maps on each side. But keep them maps coming. Additional
strategies added to the tankrush

on the interest of it, so if you are interested drop us a line in
the e-mail.
03.07.97
Added the tankrush
page about possible countermeasures to this strategy. Still need
some input from you all though.
03.03.97
Made the units

that you Netscape Navigator users. It seems like the Netscape
Navigator browsers did not accept the lack of end tags the
way the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser does.

Added new savegames on Soviet side, the savegames
are now complete. The savegames are only for the Microsoft
Windows 95 version of the game.

HTML coding, we now are proud to present our pages to the public. |
