Hello Everybody,

Is it possible to play this game using Windows XP? I tried to install it but without success.

Thanks for your help

I remember playing it on my XP machine. What error do you get when you try to install it?

Hello,

I get Setup Initialization Error. It's a box with a red ball with a white cross which says ok.

Have you attempted to use compatibility mode, or tried installing it in safe mode?

Hello,

I tried to install it using the compatibility mode and in safe mode and I got the same error.

Is there anything else to do?

Thanks

On the RA CD open the setup folder and run install.exe. Then find the 1.08 path and install it. After that's done set compatability mode for RA95.exe (Windows 95, check all options)

Just get Command and Conquer: The First Decade.....it'll work in that, plus you have every other C&C game ever made (excluding C&C 3 Tiberium Wars)

Also, its only like $25...
