Red alert 2 no cd

[Archangyl]

i have dl the no cd thing by groza and i have done what it told me (install patch v1.006, copy mix files, replace Ra2.exe, and use the crack to remove the cd check.) and whenever i try to start it up, it goes to the statue of liberty screen then says it failed to initialize. can anyone help me, i don't like to use the cd because it takes forever to load on win 2000 pro.
