Two big problems with Win7 64 bit (not sure about 32 bit)
One, on
some Win7 64 bit systems, the game will crash upon exit when using Promise land 1 (PL1), but other terrains work.
Two, CM11 fails to run (
Does for me and a few others), with a message that it is a too old of a program
No fix to this that I know of.
-------
Minor problems are:
Graphical corruption with the menu, can be fixed with a batch file:
taskkill /f /IM explorer.exe
start /w Baron.exe
pause
start explorer.exe
Open NotePad, paste the four lines above (
change Baron.exe to Reload.exe if using Reload) and then save as a .bat file instead of a .txt file. EX: Baron.bat

If you are having problems with installing from the disk, if possible, install to another computer, move over the video files and save to a disk and then just copy and paste it. How some I know was able to get it to run on Win7

If game crashes right after the intro movie, the fix is to get it started in windows mode. Open up properties of your short cut and in the target windo, add a space and a -w at the end of the line so it looks like something like this:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Sierra\RedBaron3D\Baron.exe" -w
After getting it up and running, will be able to remove the -w, but menus will be widowed which can be annoying for old eyes
Hopefully everything will run smooth for you and WB to the world of RB
