    • Go to your game folder. If you don't know how to find your game folder... open the Origin menu and select "Application Settings". In the settings screen, go to the "Installs & Saves" tab. There, under "on your computer", you can see the path of the Game library location. To easily open the folder in your file explorer, click "Change", and in the dialog that pops up, right click the selected folder and choose "Open in new window" from the context menu. In the explorer window that opens you can then browse to the actual installation folders of your games. Image Guide
    • In the game folder, find and open the configuration files RA2.ini (for Red Alert 2) and RA2MD.ini (for the expansion pack, Yuri's Revenge). If you don't see the .ini extensions for file types, open the folder options and enable it so you can accurately identify the files.
    • Inside the configuration files, find a section called [Video]. It should have the game's resolution under it:
      [Video]
      ScreenWidth=1280
      ScreenHeight=720
      Adapt that to a resolution supported by your screen and video card.

    Then you'll have to make that video-section yourself in RA2.INI. 🙂
