I understand that this combination should run on WinXP. I can get RA to run in DOS mode, but I get "unable to find video buffer" error when trying to get it running in WindowsXP. Same when I try to run Aftermath from the opening screen, or any other way. I have NVIDIA GeForce2 Ti. My processor is an AMD AMD Athlon(TM) XP1700+ 1.4 GHz 512Mb Ram Any suggestions? T.

Thanks, but I've already read through this. I don't see anything regarding my particular card problem. T.

Read the guide again, and follow the instructions. You need to run in the Windows version of RA in Windows95 compatibility mode to get rid of the video card message. -- - Tim G.

Followed the same path after uninstalling. It seemed that I had installed Aftermath before Counterstrike. So now I get "The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP_12 could not be located in dynamic library KERNEL32.dll" Whatever I do, I get this message or the "Unable to [find or allocate] Primary Video buffer". Furthermore, I cant get Tiberian Sun or TS Firestorm to run either - or RA Gold. Is there any knowledge about a possible clash with any Symantec product, (like Noton AV and Norton Internet Security) or that my NVIDIA is the wrong card? Can't get RA to recognise Soundblaster AWE 64 either. Checking in a basic Soundblaster card results in broken sounds. Running RA in DOS mode at 640 * 480 is very blocky, and hard to control, and a poor experience. T.
