Don't know but I have an XP computer and RA2 and YR both do that on it, but
work fine on a second XP computer of mine with far lower specs.

Try using win XP compatibility mode, follow these instructions and it might
work for you

http://www.planetcnc.com/features/techtroopers/classicsInXP/

but wen setting the compatibility mode, i would set it to windows 98 instead
RA2 & YR installs and runs fine on my XP machine but installation is very
slow

Hope this works for you

Sounds feasible, it works great on the PIII 1.2 Ghz machine but not at all
on the P4 3.06Ghz machine.
