Are you trying to run it in Compatibility mode?

This worked for me:

Using Windows Explorer, browse to
C:\Program Files\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2
or, if you have the 64 bit version of Windows 7:
C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Command & Conquer The First Decade\Command & Conquer Red Alert(tm) II\RA2


Inside that folder, find the following files:
  • game.exe
  • gamemd.exe
  • Ra2.exe
  • RA2MD.exe
  • YURI.exe
For each of the above files, do the following:
  • Right-click the file, select Properties.
  • Pick the Compatibility tab.
  • [*]Press the "Change settings for all users" button[*]Under "Compatibility mode", check "Run this program in compatibility mode for", and select "Windows 98 / Windows Me".
Then try playing Yuri's Revenge. Enjoy!

This error really hacked me off!

Thanks btw for the instructions to get it working but I just got to say that I had no problem running this game a few months back. I've recently formatted my computer and ran the game again and now it's giving me this S**t!

It's frustrating because I've installed and uninstalled it probably around 5 times now hassle free and Yuri's Revenge was always working. It's almost like the disc decided to set something up in the background after a few uses. lol
