The games section says APCOMPAT.EXE would work with red alert.
 
Any ideas?

if it's supposed to work, then you shouldn't be choosing the file that makes the cd autorun but instead choose the setup files inside the CD by opening apcompat and right clicking the CD and choose open, search for setup.exe and then double clicking it. it's okay if u have to end task the thing it always happens to me.
