Once you find the folder, select all files and copy them to the Red Alert 2 installation directory.

Besides, there is a Cabinet File (.cab) namely Game1.cab that you have to extract and paste all contents into the Red Alert 2 installation directory.

This might help in case the problem arises due to a graphical issue.

The game begins with the White House announcing DEFCON 2 status, as Yuri, the former head of the Soviet Psychic Corps, plans to take over of the world through mind control, accomplished by activating a secretly built network of Psychic Dominators around the world.

The U.S. launches an air strike on the Psychic Dominators on Alcatraz Island.

But the rest of the planet quickly succumbs to Yuris mind control.

Also, since youre running this in Windows 10, Im afraid youre more than likely going to run into more problems, usually graphics related.

Red Alert 2 Download From Origin

The best advice Ive found, is to redeem the game as a Digital download from Origin.

This can cause a SafeDisc error and impact your ability to play some older EA games that were installed via disc.

Red Alert 2 Windows 7 And Windows

Microsoft has a workaround for this error on Windows 7 and Windows 8.

You can re-enable service for the secdrv.sys driver by following the instructions under Known Issues on this Microsoft Security Bulletin.

Microsoft currently does not have a workaround for this error on Windows 10.

If this error is affecting your gameplay, we recommend downloading and installing the digital version of your game in Origin, though some older EA games may not have a digital version available.

If you need your game code, you can find it in the Origin client or contact us for help.

Please note, when contacting EA Help for your game code, we may require your proof of purchase.

Until EA releases a patch for the original RA2 discs to work without SafeDisc (dont hold your breath), this is probably the best method.

Alternatively, you can visit origin.com and purchase The Ultimate Collection.

Someone posted a guide to installing safedisc on Win10 on the EA Answers board.

Ive tried running in admin mode trying all the compatibility options.
