Default [Guide]How to run Red Alert 1 in multiplayer(without DOSbox)

Hello!
This is my first guide,hope you will find this useful.

1. Step(If you haven't got Red Alert)
You can download Red Alert 1(RA) from EA's official homepage.(For free,of course.)
Installation Guides for XP and Vista.The download file is an ISO file,so you have to burn it to a CD or use a Virtual CD program,like Daemon Tools.(Don't forget to set the compatibility to Win95 at the shortcut's properties,and install the patch!)


2. Step
Download and install Westwood Chat(WWC).

3. Step
Select "Internet Game" from Main Menu.(If the screen is black after starting the game,just click,and select Red Alert from the task bar.)Wait until RA minimizing itself.Westwood Chat will automatically launch.(If it doesn't,launch it manually.)Log in with your nickname and set your password.

4. Step
Join to Red Alert Channel.Now you can host or join a game.
After the host launches the game,both players will see Red Alert maximize.(You can turn on the music in the Options.)
When the game ends,an error message will appear(Can't write results to westwood server!),just press the OK button,and exit from RA(Sometimes,you'll need Task Manager to shut it down.).


P.S.:If you don't know how to use Daemon Tools,then use this guide!

Enjoy the game! :thumbs:
