| 404681 | 2005-11-16 00:12:00 | Hi I just bought two copies of Red Alert 2 so I could play it on the 2 computers networked at home. On the desktop computer (they are both compaq) I can open it and get into Network options but on the laptop computer where I installed the other copy, it does not open the Network menu, it just reloads the main menu. This is very annoying seeing as I bought two new copies and they have both got the 1.006 patch installed. Why is it not loading? Any ideas? Thanks |
