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 ...
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.
