Red Alert 2 Base explodes in a minute
I got the Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 2 Yuri's Revenge for Origin, but when I play Red Alert 2, my base gets exploded in 1 minute and I lose the game. Yuri's Revenge seems okay but I didn't tested out ...

Run the game in compatibility mode for Windows XP service pack 3.
As for the game resolution... if you manage to start the game, that is completely irrelevant. Nevermind changing it.
Overall, this is an "old DRM" problem, and quite an annoying one. I've heard of cases where it just worked after a couple of reinstalls. But either way, you'll need that compatibility mode.
Note that the game folder has a bunch of executables (RA2.exe, RA2MD.exe, yuri.exe, game.exe, gamemd.exe...). Your safest bet is to enable it on all of them.
After I reinstall it without the ignore non-mandatory game update, I was able to have the compatibility tab and check the run as administrator but it still doesn't work. The base still explodes in a minute. I also can't find any of those folders.
Folders? You can find your game install folder by opening the Origin menu, clicking to Application Settings, and in the settings screen, going to the Advanced section. You can copy the address in the grey box there and paste it in your file browser to find the location where the games are physically located on your disk.
