I'm trying to play RA2 in windowed mode. Adding -win to the target in the shortcut just opens RA2's origin page, so I am not sure what to do about this.

  • Right click the executable or the game's shortcut and go to properties.
  • Click the compatibility tab on the top.
  • Check the boxes for the following options.
  • Run in 256 colors.
  • Disabled desktop composition.
  • Disabled DPI scaling.
  • Run this program as an administrator.

Interesting - I used to want to do this. I attempted to follow your directions and it did not work.

I have 1920x1080 resolution and play my game at that resolution - I though perhaps it was because I would need to LOWER the game resolution to make window mode work...

1280x1024 also failed to go into window mode.

Shortcut is written as such:

"C:\_Games\Red Alert 2\Command & Conquer Red Alert™ II\RA2\Ra2.exe" -win

Do I have a syntax error in how I added the -win ?

-Thanks.
