Re: Red alert 2 black screen with sound and mouse
This problem usually happens if you have a custom install/mods or any of the original game files in the folder is missing/renamed (should not happen with the ultimate collection), kinda strange it happens for you.
Windows detects red alert 2 and applies compat settings automatically, that fails on custom installations. You could try to apply them on your own using the application compatibility toolkit from microsoft, here are the settings you need to apply (game.exe / gamemd.exe):
EmulateSlowCPU
DXPrimaryEmulation -DisableMaxWindowedMode
8And16BitTimedPriSync
Make sure you run the tool as admin, else it won't do anything at all

There is also a ddraw proxy dll which can fix some of the problems, but it is in beta stage and it might not be the best to use it atm
