I have installed Command and Conquer the first decade and can run both red alert and red alert 2 in virtual desktops, however because their resolutions are very low they only take up about one third of the screen. If I run without a virtual desktop it send an error that it is "unable to set video mode". I have searched for this error and it is apparently an issue with the game as people running windows have experienced it as well.

I was able to change the resolution for red alert II so that it will take up the whole screen in an emulated desktop, but I am not able to change the resolution of the original red alert. Does any one know how I might be able to stretch the game or get it working in a virtual desktop?

Thanks
