Running A Game As Win95 in XP

Okay, I'm trying to install Command & Conquer: Red Alert and I get an error saying that I'm running Windows 5.1 and I need to run Windows 95.
there's a picture of the error I get.

Click the image to open in full size.


How do I get it to think I'm running Win95 instead of XP? I only have ISO files and I tried alterning the "Compatibility" section to make it run as Win95 but it doesn't come up as an option. Please help as I want to play Red Alert bad and my hard copy isn't going to be available to me forever.

Start -> Programs -> Westwood (or whatever the directory, I think it is Westwood) -> Red Alert

Right click on the icon -> properties -> Compatability tab (3rd one) -> first drop down menu: "run this program in compatability mode for ______ " and chose win 95.


Should work.

I must remind you that:

It isn't installed yet either so that's not an option. The installer says it needs to run Win95.

Oh I see, I'm a bit slow at this time of day. Hmm, shit. Dennis will probably know, I guess you have to wait till he wakes up.

First answer on Google delivers this, should work with the iso too. Worst case scenario is that you burn the iso to a cdr...

thanks i'll check that out. Ya, I was thinking that I'll probably end up burning it to a CD, but I'll try what you listed first. Thanks.
