Video monitor settings may need to be adjusted after installing the Microsoft
DirectX video drivers. If you screen distorts, or is shifted horizontally or
vertically, you can return it to normal by adjusting the controls on your monitor.
Most video display problems can be corrected by installing the latest drivers
for your particular card. Please consult your video card documentation for
details on how to get the latest drivers for your card.
If you are using the Microsoft Theme Pack and have selected a custom cursor,
video corruption can occur. For best results, please use default cursors while
playing Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2.
Users with integrated Intel 3D graphic cards (2MB AGP) may experience refresh
problems at high resolutions (above 640x480). In order to fix this problem, modify
the [VIDEO] section of the RA2.INI file located in the RA2 root directory to include:
VideoBackBuffer=no
(This also includes any users with low end video cards, experiencing any trails
or refresh problems at any resolution)
