"I bought the Ultimate collection a few days ago and tried to play Red
Alert 2 (my favourite C&C Game) but found it ran so slowly in
Windows 8 that it is unplayable.
Here's a fix I found on
http://answers.micro...a3-cb34fb889ea1
[1] Run Red Alert 2 once (this will create a file called RA2.ini in the folder where the game is installed)
[2] open the RA2.ini file in Notepad.
[3] Find the section headed [Video].
[4] Enter this line in that section ... VideoBackBuffer=no
[5] Save and exit the file.
[6] The game now runs at full speed.
For Yuri's Revenge, run the game once and do steps 2 to 6, but with a file called RA2MD.ini instead of RA2.ini."
