Windows 2000
The install program wont run, complaining that it can't find ddraw.dll (which is in my winntsystem32 directory).
When i run the trouble shooting program included with the game, it can not detect that direct x is installed.
All of the info i have been able to find says that directx 7 is installed with 2000.
Any thoughts or ideas on how to get this game to run?
Thanks...

uhh guys. fair warning
I had this game the first day it came out. Played it (movies skipped and movie sounds skipped) but other than that ran flawlessly.
Anyways, A LOT of people have had problems with it.
I'd go to www.westwood.com 's message board and check it out!

Uhh I have the game but it crashes after playing awhile.
I have Celeron 366@523
voodoo3 3000
192mb ram
windows 2000
I think it is a problem with the voodoo3
because It crashed on my friends computer with a voodoo3 2000. He uses Win ME..
This also happens to me in Homeworld: Cataclysm
I think I used OpenGL for it. Anyways those games are awesome but they crash for no reason after playing for awhile..
There is no stupid Win2k Dr.watson Log either...

I've had the game since Saturday.
Only one issue has come up:
Sound a little patchy in some of the cut-scenes.
Not really a problem as the mission is there in text format too.
Playing in 1024x768, I've noticed a couple of slow-down's but there was a lot going on on screen at the time.
No crashes etc.
If you liked the original RA, you'll love RA2.
