    Set the Compatibility mode of each .exe in the Red Alert 2 folder to Windows XP SP2, it should work then.

    Right click on the .exe, select properties, then click the comparability tab, and select the version of windows from the list.

    This game doesnt like 32Bit graphics cards. So I recommend changing it to 16Bit.
