LOADING INSTRUCTIONS

Insert any Red Alert CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Red Alert uses the “Windows 95 Autoplay” feature to present you with installation and gameplay

play dialog to appear. If you have previously installed Red Alert you will be presented with a “Play”
option from this dialog. Click this to launch the game. The Introduction to the game will follow.
Alternatively, Red Alert can be launched by clicking the “Start” button on the Windows 95 taskbar,
clicking “Programs”, then “Westwood”, then “Red Alert”, and then clicking “Red Alert Windows
95 Edition”.
