What he meant:

My problem is that when I go to play RA2, the game goes to a gray screen instead of the main menu. I have the downloaded game, no CD, and would really like to be able to play this game, the only thing that I have done to it is install the 1.3 patch. However, with out the CD, my computer said the game could not start. PLEASE HELP!

Did you use the 1.3 patch for the download version of the game?
 
Did you read the included instructions?
