I just installed and dowloaded the red alert 2 game pack for red alert 2 and yuri's revenge. I was super excited to try them out but when I tried command and conquer red alert 2 it insta killed all my men. When I started any campaigns or skirmishes it would insta kill all my units and buildings effectively failing the mission for me. Yuri's revenge works fine though but I dont exactly understand how a "bug" like that is even there.
How can I fix my problem?

That's because it's not really a bug. Well, it's a bug that it happens to you, certainly, but the original mechanism was there for anti-piracy reasons. Basically, it's something that happened if you tried running the game after copying the whole installed game to a new PC. Unfortunately, Origin's full hard disk install is basically exactly that, and it seems they cut some corners in what they did and didn't set up for the game, which causes this to happen occasionally.
Generally, this is fixed by finding the game executable and making sure it runs in Administrator mode, in Windows XP Service Pack 3 compatibility mode, but I've heard some people here had to actually reinstall it a few times before it all worked right.
