Hi everyone,

I just fresh-installed Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC on my HP Pavilion g6 laptop, and I'm having a hard time getting Red Alert 2 / Yuri's Revenge to work.

Here is what happened:

downloaded a pre-installed version from SteamUnlocked.

Whenever I try to run ra2.exe or yuri.exe, I get this error:

***FATAL*** String Manager failed to initialize properly.

I already tried: Running as Administrator, setting compatibility mode to Windows XP (SP3), enabling 8-bit color mode, and turning on DirectPlay in Windows Features. None of these fixed the fatal error.

My screen resolution is 1366x768.
