    This apples to all games:

    1) Reboot your PC.

    2) Right click Red Alert 2 in origin client.

    3) Select "Game Properties"

    4) In 'Command Line Arguments' type: "-w"

    5) Tick "Disable Origin In Game For This Game"

    6) Hit OK and enjoy!

My main concern is with RA2 + YR, Generals + ZH, TW + KW and C&C 4. And none of those games are working.

I have tried the fixes outlined in that article, including applying biddler's patch, without success.

As Origin only gives you 7 days to request a refund I'm just going to go ahead with that, rather than wait around for a patch.

If the game doesn't work on Windows 8, I should have been told (in no less words than, "THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK ON WINDOWS 8") before I bought it.

Thank you for your help.

Did you disable the Origin in-game overlay? It causes problems with many older games.
