    How do I get Red Alert to work on Windows 2000?

    It simply won't work (I'm talking about the original Red Alert here, not RA2). The same applies for C&C. When I try to run it, I get this message:

    "The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll".

    Any ideas?

      You need a DLL update, C&C wasn't designed to run on NT kernels. See westwood.ea.com / support / file updates. I don't know which patches you're supposed to download, though.

        I don't even think you can IIRC , not sure.
        Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?

          Use DOS?

            I could use the DOS version (it works), but it's all nasty and blocky.

            Westwood Online doesn't appear to have any updates for RA with regards to Win2K.

              Do a Google search for VDMSound. It got most of my games working under W2K.

                    It failed.

                      Bah! I think it is probably going to be one of those you are going to have to forget. Believe it or not I have never got Sim City 3000 to work with Windows XP...

                        Looks like it, doesn't it?

                          Treat yourself to a copy of RA2 - it's a budget title in many shops now.
                          If I'm posting here then Counterglow must be down.

                            Sorry about VDMSound

                            Dual-boot WinXP-Win9x maybe?
