try running the setup.exe in win 98 compatibility mode, but I'm sure RA2 is XP-compatible - in fact I've run it on mine before now, although possibly before SP2.

Doesn't work.. But thanks anyway. :ranting:
anyone else?

Scrap SP2 and reinstall SP1?

I have Sp1 and I get that to, I have tried everything and compability mode.

Ugh. This will never work...hey Bakro reply if you ever find out how to fix it...
Argh...such a cool game too... :angry:

What kind of RA2 are you using, i have the 'Sold Out' version and it works fine?

Might it be a problem with your version, an outdated copy of RA2?

The version I've had running is my housemate's and I think it's a budget version released more recently than the original. but surely RA2 is more recent than XP?

I don't know. I have SP2, and RA2 installs just fine. I've never gotten a white screen. You should probably check the condition of the CD-rom. If it is damaged, then it might not install. I tried the same thing with RA1 on Windows XP, and gave me a compatibility problem. When I changed the compatibility, it installed, but when I play the damaged Soviet CD, it crashes. What you might want to do is just install RA2 on another WinXP computer if you can. Just curious to know, what are the tech specs of the computer itself. It might be more of a hardware problem, but I don't know why...also, you may want to try using another one of your RA2 cds. There is two in each case so... welp, I've done the best I can. I installed an old version of Tiberian Sun on my computer and it installed perfectly fine so... anyways, just a suggestion.
