I copied red alert 2,but not by using the cracks.

Use clone cd and it will work.
Settings:

Read:NO to everything except in fast error skip check YES and select READ RETRIES "3" and ERROR CORRECTION "SOFTWARE"

Write:YES to don't repair subchannel data, Wait until buffers are full, and always close last session.
NO to everything else including Burn Proof.

For more info check Jook Tau's message which is a ways back.
The cd copy crack worked but when RA2 began to install , it could not find install files. Maybe this is because I burned on a CD-RW or because I unchecked read only after I extracted the crack.... I don't know maybe trial and errror will prevail..**The only drawback to using the CloneCD method is that RA2 can only be played on your CD writer, in my case the Plextor 12/10/32 which is the best CD writer on the planet.**
