I swore I've played RS since I installed XP, but I could be wrong...

I cannot get the game, or Yuri's Revenge itself to open. After the screen goes full-screen and black, I get an error, and the game is force quit. Just reinstall, or is there an easier alternative? (I don't recall where my RA2 disks are...)

Is it definitely a legal boxed copy?

Is the error an internal error message or a general windows program crash error?

Yeah, YR doesnt work on XP without being in compatibility mode. And I recommend Win98/ME setting.

That's a lie. I've used YR on this comp (XP Pro) and my old comp (XP Home) without any issues whatsoever.

Now things are interesting... I put it in 98/ME compatibility mode, however, I can only get Yuri's Revenge to run. Whenever I click on the mod button, YR crashes during startup. Furthermore, I tried a skirmish as Yuri... didn't go so well. As soon as I deployed a Power Plant, everything I had blew up and it was game over.

Should I just reinstall? What .mix files and whatnot are not part of the original game so I don't loose them?
