No one else has been able to help so far...
I'm hoping you (the guru's of C&C) may be able to help.
My trouble isn't with Renegades, but I'm running out of places to get help from

I bought a new computer and can't install Red Alert 2 on it (I have been playing with the boys from work over the past few years)

I can start the install by autorun or by running the setup, but when the setup tries to install the files... it says it can not find the disk and shuts down.
EA games (westwood) says it won't work because I am using XP and is not supported. Easy out for them.

I am using the same XP copy on my new puter as on my old one, and all my friends use XP and we have never had any problems.

After confirming my CD is not damaged...
I have tried every compatability mode available, I have tried copying all the CD files to my HD and running it, I have tried mounting an ISO on a virtual CD, and I have tried changing the drive letter.... all resulted in the same problem... so I started trying cracked versions (packaged as EXE) but I have been unable to find one that I can register my serial number and/or get on-line with.

I would customize the install program if I know how... or manually install each file and make the required registry entries if that's what it took... and if I knew how... lol... but I'm out of ideas but stilll obviously motivated to get back on-line with the boys.. (you'd think with all the people and files floating around on the net these days, that I'd be able to find a clean "no CD" EXE out there that I can register with my valid serial and get back into the game)

Anyone have any ideas?

I imagine that as I am only having trouble on my new puter the answer must lie with that... but I can't imagine what it would be.
See my sig for info on my new puter.
