    Hello folks. This problem has had me boggled for months. There is a Windows 98 compatability option in the quick menu when you want to run a 98 only executable (I.E. Command and Conquer Red Alert) on a Windows 2000 system. My buddies system has this but I dont. We have identical versions of windows, and I have all the service packs. What am I over looking here?

    Thanks folks,

    The Illustrious Ethan C

    The only thing I can think of, is that you are right clicking on the exe itself. I'm pretty sure you have to do that on a shortcut then click Properties - Compatiblility

    Right now this is the only reason I can think of why you can't get it to work.
