	Log in to remove this sponsored message Hello, I got a new Asus laptop recently and decided it would be fun to install my old RA2 CD on it. The CD installed fine and the game works(I can hear the usual title screen sounds) but whenever I get to the title screen the images freezes. I'm basically stuck looking at the main menu and I can still click the buttons on the side but the image remains the same. Essentially my game works, I just can't see it. I have played RA2 and other Command and Conquer games on my desktop before and they worked just fine so I am not sure what the problem is. Its definitely not my laptop's hardware(made sure to get all the fancy parts), but perhaps I am missing a program essential to RA2? Please help, I love this game. My desktop run's Windows 7 Professional and my laptop runs Windows 7 Premium.

	The problem isn't windows 7 based, but still remember to run in compatability mode (Win Xp or 98). If your Video card is Intel HD 2000-3000 then that's the problem. You've got one possible solution, if that doesn't work then I don't know what will. Remember that you can still play by alt-tabing in each menu (that shows you what the options are) and when you get ingame the game works fine. Now how to fix this, go to Intel HD options, power, high performance. If it works then your good to go, otherwise your stuck with the alt-tab. I've got the same problem, the above didn't solve it for me, but I've heard a lot have. Here are some links (won't really find anything useful besides what I mentioned, but here they are anyway): http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f59/solved-red-alert-2-video-problems-on-windows-7-a-561718.html http://communities.intel.com/thread/24623

	Oh, and to get to the options, right click on desktop or go to the control panel and find it there.
