C & C red alert for XP

[NJDevil]

I tried playing this game a few years ago on windows xp but XP didn't allow it to run, being incompatible and all. Is there any way I could start playing one of the greatest RTS games of all time again?

I remembered the game when a roommate stated that the halo2 soundtrack was the best soundtrack of any game and then I remembered the Hell March.

I just got to that but there is no compatibility tab. And do you need both cd's to install it?
