i don't think you can change screen resolutions with red alert.
Here's how you do it. First you NEED the Aftermath or Counterstrike add-on (they provide a Windows NT compatible .exe file). You have to install the game in Windows 9x, install the add-on, and then you can run the game in Windows 2000. You will lose network support in the game though.
If you try to run Red Alert without the add-on installed it'll come up with a "This .exe is not a valid Win32 program" error. So you need the add-on.

Oops double post, sorry.

I don't have aftermath or counterstrike
so I don't have the exe's.
(perhaps someone could mail them to
lordbrown@flashmail.com)
How unfortunate it is to lose network support
with the executables you mentioned, while
I want to play RA over a win2k network.
B.T.W.
I have tried apcompat.exe from microsoft
(the util to make an exe think win2k is
actually win 95), but this was no good.
so I don't have the exe's.

I just installed mine again and had absolutely no probs. First run the app compatible tool. Select Win98 from the compatibility options. Then hit the browse and go to the c&c cd and select setup under the win95 install directory. Then hit OK to run the tool. Now let it sit for a sec. The app compatibility tool will crash and you need to use ctrl-alt-delete and kill it. But after you kill it, c&c setup will start and run, no problem.
