Question : Getting Red Alert 2 game to work on my Win XP PC

I am having endless trouble trying to get Red Alert 2 to work. I’ve tried reinstalling the game a few times now. If I don’t restart the computer after installation, the game can be played fine. But after restarting, trying to start the game causes the computer to pause up until I access Task Manager and click End Process on Ra2.exe. Why would the game work straight after installation, but no longer work after restarting the computer? I’ve also tried running setup.exe and ra2.exe in compatibility mode with Windows 2000 and Windows 98, but did nothing to solve the problem. My system specs are: P4 2.8ghz, Radeon 9800 Pro, 2gb PC3200 ram, Windows XP Home.

Several fixes are suggested but don't seem to work reliably for everyone.
