Classic Shell: Forum

On C&C red alert (using installer from http://cncnet.org/red-alert) there is a minor glitch that the start orb sticks in fullscreen. It's minor because it is fixed with compatibility mode for Windows 7, however it would be a major glitch otherwise, since it is so big at that resolution.

Edit: No, it wasn't compatibility mode that fixed it, it was switching from gdi to OpenGL. This makes the glitch much worse since it could break other games that don't have that option. Disabling custom start button fixes it, as well.

What version of Windows do you have?

I still get that issue with certain games too windows 10 (though i havnt bothered to check compatibility settings yet)

This is Windows 10, and as said in my edit, compatibility mode does not fix it, it was the renderer in the specific game (Red Alert) that fixed it (changed it to opengl) but not all old games will have that kind of patch to give the ability to fix it. For now, I disabled the custom start button to fix any issues.
