I have the same problem, the game ran well in DOS until I installed
Red Alert. Now, with RA deleted, I can't even get the game to run at
all.Others I've talked to say the dx drivers westwood supplied with
RA, have altered settings in my bios.Gateway confirmed this and has
promised to tell me how to reset it. Westwood,naturally, sends me form
letters telling me about new products.I presume that's their form of a
denial.
