red alert 2 problem

when i start any game in RA2, i will loose automatically after abt 30 seconds...it's only happen in my computer but not in my sisters'.....can somebody help me?

in addition, i've found there is not folder in programme files after install and hv a error msg ... "fatal" something...i'm using XPhome sp2, thx!!!
 
The 30-second kill delay is by design - you have a pirated copy of RA2 and the game knows this.
