There is a serious bug that freezes RA. I tried many ways to fix it [setting compatibillity with win95 on all executables, 3.03 patch, etc.] but it doesn't help much. Game will run fine for a ONE time per system boot - for e.x. if i run RA and play xxx skirmish matches/single player maps and then EXIT game back to Windows I will have freeze next time I run it [after starting the proper game match - random moment freeze[max after 5 mins of play], music will stop in 7 seconds]. I noticed that RA.dat process is having problem [terminating RA.exe wont terminate game entirelly] it just get high CPU usage and start to eat more and more RAM [memory leak perhaps?]. It happen only if I run game via ra95.exe which, following EA words, is emulating this dos game in windows95. However playing proper DOS version [via DOSBOX] wont cause this problem! But then I loose high resolution, better graphics and internet play possibility! On older Windows'es this problem doesn't happen so it must be NT Compatibillity issue. I will look around a bit to see if anyone found a way to overwalk it and post here back.
