"The westwood online support library is either missing or invalid, reinstall the shared internet components from your CD"

I get that error when trying to connect to an internet game in Red Alert 2, or any of the internet settings for that matter, I installed the patch found on the disc to no avail.

help :(

    RA2 is the best C&C game that XP will play.

    Also, my internetness for it dies and doesn't work.

    Red Alert 3 mod for Generals is VERY nearly done - they are just finishing the campaign now. Basically, its Red Alert 2 in 3D. For Free.

    awesome. i love red alert 2, but prefer the generals/warcraft building style. with the dozers and the like.

    Let me install it again (and find my user details... if I can remember the password, it'll be a miracle.)

    Are there patches for it I sohuld know about? (And ffs, I miss Yuri's revenge. I might download an ISO as my disc was murdered by a bad CDROM drive.)
