The game is Command and Conquer, Red Alert. After running the compatibility
wizard, I was able to install it, but then when I tried to run it, I got the
following message: " The procedure entry point SMapLS_IP_EBP_12 could not be
located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll" Does this mean that maybe
it is one of the games that makes direct calls to system hardware?
