Problems installing

Post by dirtbag »

I can install OpenRA on my computer but then I have trouble installing Red Alert from my CD.
It don't know how to tackle this because I have searched the internet without any good fixes. I have Windows 7.

Any ideas? I will try it again and make some more exact info if you need!

What do you mean? You have trouble extracting the files from the Red Alert disc for use in OpenRA, or you're simply unable to install RA95 itself?

Yepp, the first. I can install Red Alert to my computer, however I am unable to play because of some stupid KERNEL dll file, something.

I can install OpenRA but then when OpenRA asks me to install from a CD it doesn't work.
Download doesn't work either, it all just crashes... :(

Sounds like a display problem of sorts, but it could be anything. Check here for possible help:

As for RA95 and that KERNEL32.DLL shit, all your problems are solved here.

Nothing on the FAQ explained why the game crashes at "planting trees" in the loading screen, and I don't see how it should be caused by the screen? ... sorry I'm just not very good at tech stuff :D


Ok thanks but I don't get the last link, I can't find anything about kernel there?

Are you install it self without any rules.? Unable to play this. You are first to search the code serial file and than install.
