Everything dies - Red Alert 2

So when I start playing, I just bought and downloaded Red Alert 2 as its my favorite out of this entire pack. Paid for using Paypal through Origin if that helps.

I go to play a new game and as soon as 30 seconds happens, everything dies so I either lose Tanya (lose game) or lose all my soviet people and construction yard.

How do I get around this glitch, considering I did buy it with my own money?

Yuri's Revenge works fine!

This is the second time I have installed them though after removing them completely and redownloading!

    Units blowing up is usually a problem linked with the old game copy protection, or the game not being installed correctly. 

    Seeing as you've downloaded it from Origin and its installed, this shouldn't happen. I did a quick search and a moderator suggested to do the following:

    Restart your computer with a clean boot.

    Then run Origin as administrator, and try again.

    Not sure if it's going to help but worth a shot.

    I've just rebooted as you suggested. I'll let you know if this works or not.

    If it doesn't work, a reinstall of the game is generally advised. I know my brother had to reinstall the Origin version of RA2/YR a couple of times before it stopped doing that.

    And, always make sure the game runs as administrator.

    @erosaf - hmm that's not good. Can you check My computer > device manager, make sure your network card isn't displaying a yellow question-mark?

    Did yuo try disabling the Origin In Game feature for the game? It's an option in the game's settings in Origin.
