I wanted to play the RA2 campaigns so I uninstalled the game and tried reinstalling RA2 but now nothing works and I can't even play yuris revenge anymore either! But even now if I insert the yuri disk I can get to the install menu, but obviously I can't install it without RA2. 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. Sparr.Turn the tide of life with effective cancer treatments In 2012, life expectancy of a person diagnosed with cancer in the UK was an average of four years now it’s eight. 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. At the end of the mission when the movie played, the game locked up again.That's a stripped multiplayer only version though. I would be interested in knowing WHY since my google search does not give me any programming insite into the vram sidebarĮither way I got my answer and wanted to say thanks. If you're having movie issues, open ra2(md).ini and add AllowVRAMSidebar=yes to the section. I'm WELL beyond anything necessary to run this old game. My computer is a p4 2.8 ghz with a gig of ram and a 256MB graphics card. I do NOT have a disc problem, I have tried using the noCD crack and still have a lockup issue. I reinstalled it using the FIRST DECADE - nope. I reinstalled it using my Collectors series - NOPE I reinstalled the entire game with my original disc - NOPE now I'm trying to play missions and anytime the small videos play the game locks up. I found this with a google search because I've recently started having this problem.ĭefined as, I installed this game YEARS ago and played the missions.
