Added antivirus exceptions to the entire RA2 folder, and running process exceptions for RA2.exe, RA2MD.exe, game.exe, gamemd.exe and yuri.exe (Microsoft Security Essentials).Force the game into all available resolutions.Force nVidia Optimus out of "adaptive power save mode".


Force nVidia Optimus to use the GeForce discrete graphics card.Force nVidia Optimus to use the Intel graphics card.Setting ownership of the game folder to Everyone.Enable and disable VideoBackBuffer in RA2MD.ini.The missions work fine, I just need to find out how to get the menus to work again. Menu dialogue boxes (such as the "Are you sure you want to quit?" confirmation) are also unaffected.I also noticed I could "update" the screen by using ALT+TAB, or using one of the laptop hot keys (which causes a graphical overlay). The in-game battle screen seems completely unaffected. This also affects cinematic, the in-game ESC menu and multi-player / skirmish screen. When I try to run Red Alert 2 or Yuri's Revenge (Playing from Command & Conquer: The First Decade with latest unofficial 1.03 patch), the menu screen doesn't refresh correctly (the game hasn't frozen, I can click where the menu buttons should be and they respond correctly). I have a new laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and a new GeForce 630M / Intel HD 3000 dual graphics cards with nVidia Optimus. I know this thread is old and apologies for necroing, but it seems to be the only solid and active forum discussion on this problem.
