I remember that in the RED BARON installation there is the option for the
GLIDE acceleration and i didn' t select it. If it is an option the program
should run also without it, shouldn' t it ?
Do you know how is it possible in Windows Vista to verify if in the system
the GLIDE acceleration is available ?

Glide is a 3D mode used by old 3Dfx Voodoo cards, if you don't have a 3Dfx
card in your system (more than likely, no) then weather or not you install
Glide support won't matter to Windows.
This isn't really your problem, the problem is, you have a really old game,
and a really NEW operating system.
Right-click the RB3D icon and select Properties.
Change the game Compatibility to "Windows 98", check Run as Administrator,
Disable Visual Themes, and Disable Desktop Composition.
Click OK, try the game again.
You may need to turn off User Account Control (It's in the User Accounts
Control Panel), and chances are kindda there that this game simply won't run
without some additional tweaking.
Is RB3D a DOS based game, or does it actually run in Windows mode? With DOS
games you might try a DOS emulator like DOSBox (Google it), DOSBox emulates
a PC running MS-DOS in Windows, Still kind of a pain in the ass, but it's an
option.
Write back Ilver, if no luck I'll poke around a bit more and make some
suggestions. Might call the game maker (Sierra?) and see if they have
suggestions for getting the game going.
