hi!
i posted on 24.dec and i found a solution to run red alert 2 on my vista home premium 32bit pc.
i found it while searching for another solution to play diablo 2 on my pc wich won't work too.
i downloaded a reg-fix that enables direct draw, wich was disabled in the directx 11 version.
if nothing other helps you can try to download this:
