Red alert 2 yuris revenge on origin download issues

Hello,

i have a few questions. I have tried and tried to find an answer before posting this but after doing the fixes, just doesn't seem to work and asking the ea experts and specialist just seems to crash the program more.

here is what happened so far. 

I have a hp computer running windows 10 with a Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8250U CPU @ 1.60GHz, 1801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

Decided to buy command and conquer collection. 

Downloaded red alert 2 and yuris revenge. EVERYTHING IN RED ALERT 2 WORKS FINE!  Yuris revenge on the other hand is having a bunch of problems. Played around with the compatibility settings and couldn't get it to fire up. Did the VideoBackBuffer=no in the RA2 and RA2MD file. I seen that i got the game to load up and get to the main screen. The screen looks good but the top half of the screen is off from where you need to click and what is being clicked. you need to click about an inch to the right for it to click.if i bypass it and get to the game, its very pixalited and the screen is very small. 

Decided to the ddwrapper patch and now the game just crashes and wont even load.

Please help!!!

    I advise installing the CnCNet online play installer for RA2/YR. Even if you're not interested in online play, it comes with a bunch of automatic fixes, and has a configuration tool which offers more choices in graphics fixes than just DDWrapper, so if one doesn't work you can just try if some of the other options do the trick.

    And there's an active forum and Discord community at CnCNet to help you out with any further issues.

    I will be downloading that as soon as I get home. Is this a common issue? I know ra2 has a patch when you first log on to internet.

    Thank you nyerguds for responding.

    Well, I know getting a black screen is a common issue; that's what cnc-ddraw fixes. But besides that... I'm mostly a C&C1 expert. The CnCNet people have a lot more experience with the other games.

    ill have to take some pictures of what my screen looks like. I have played red alert 2 for some time. then stopped for like 12 years. i have a pretty good brain when it comes to windows but windows 10 is something else with red alert 2 yuris revenge.

    The cnc download works and i think what i am going to do is uninstall red alert 2 and re install origin and see what happens. the cnc download works perfect but can see its not the exact clone, its good enough to play though.
