Ok, I have Windows XP Pro. I have not yet installed any updates as I have just reformatted my computer. I installed Red Alert 2 with a breeze but it will not run at all. I have changed the compatibility to all the possible options and still to no success.

Basically, having read other threads and messed about a touch with the registry settings of Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds, I have activated the Network options. Me and my friend have attempted to play a game over TCP/IP but so far no good.

Jewlz
Hello =) I just bought the Sims 2 DVD and it seemed to install just fine. Everything looks okay so far EXCEPT there are little black dashes on the sides of the screen from top to bottom. What could cause this? Is this an easy fix? I'm new at this.
