Ok, I installed the game on windows xp - why, whenever I start the game, does it wait ten seconds then all my units die? Doesn't matter if its campaign or skirmish.
I have a valid CD key and cd - its all legal!!!
Argh

Have you tried re-installing? Does it say it works on XP? Sorry I would google it but well... I had some other stuff to do..

ok, i've been googling, and according to http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-55637-Red-Alert-2-instant-death.html my red alert thinks it is pirated - but that is just bizzare!!! Its a proper cd with key!!!

This is not cool.

Well i just reinstalled it using the Allied disk and it still doesn't work. I'll try some kind of patch now I guess.

I would definately try there website and see what comes up patches etc.

Ok i got a patch and it works.

It strikes me as very pointless that the legal game which i purchased won't run without a questionably-legal patch.

Incase anyone else has the same problem the patch is called ra21006.

Cheers.
