Thing is, I don't like users badmouthing programs just because of PEBKAC.
And I am around for a close decade now, so yeah, I think I can stay a little. And trying to teach some manners doesn't take much time off from my daily routine.
VMWare/VirtualBox/co. all work the same in this case - the user would play the game through a virtual Windows install (preferably XP SP3) and suspend the state of the VM as a "savegame". Would be terribly ineffecient, but ain't a rocket science. Atleast not on the level you sent it to hell.
I only got angry at the program because every time I fucked up in a mission I had to alt tab out of mental omega, which would crash it by the way, and have me load back.
Then it forces me in a state where mental omega is running in the background and if I alt tab into it there's a fifty-fifty chance of it crashing. just repeating the mission from the beginning saves me a lot of time and brain cells. I was angry at the time I wrote that post because of how many times I've had to scream because of mental omega crashing.
I regret installing windows 10, it just fucks red alert up in general.
EDIT: Also, windowed mode doesn't work in windows 10, yes, I do set the compatibility mode to 16bit but it doesn't work either way. So I can't use a video to guide me step by step.
