One thing to note for newer players:
Once you've got the hang of building, it's worth checking out the showcases of people like 123Savethewhales, Naryar, The Ounce, Pwnator and so on in the DSL section. In those you'll probably see terms like "axle-loaded" or AGOD thrown around. For dealing with glitches and using techniques like those, you'll normally need your pause key to be active in games, as it makes a lot of building techniques a lot less strenuous. Most keyboards on laptops and desktops constructed post-Windows 7 lack this sort of functionality by default, but you can set it up in your keyboard settings normally.

I am having an Issue, I have downloaded and extracted the files as stated above however when I go to launch the .exe the game instantly crashes. I am running windows 7 64bit. is this a comparability Issue or am I missing a step?

I was having the same problem as you, i then went into the ra2.cfg file in notepad and turned off fullscreen, and that fixed it for me :D

Sometimes you can't run the game in full screen. Go into the main folder and find the file called ra2.cfg (make sure it's NOT the one labeled RA2.CFZ). Right click and edit with notepad. Find the line called Fullscreen = 1, and change it to Fullscreen = 0. (This should be the second line down).

Save, and try opening RA2 again.

EDIT: wow i got ninja'd by Webster.
You got my vote for RA2 Wizard. Always and forever.

We're talking about LRA2 here. He doesn't have enough brain power to think about that.

How you make Alarm Clock Pizza is:
Step 1: You buy an alarm clock from the store, and then you have to break it and put it in the sauce.
Step 2: Fold the sauce in 5 slices and put it in the dough.
Step 3: Paint the eggs with a pitcher of a clock showing what time you want to wake up and eat pizza for breakfast.
Step 4: Put the eggs in the dough.
Step 5: Make it flat into a round shape and draw the time you want on it.
Step 6: Put some old steel to prevent other peple from stealing it.
Step 7: Make it flat and cut into 60 slices 1 for each minute in 1 our.
Step 8: Put in the oven set the timer to 30048813.2884 seconds and put the temperature on 'Volcano' setting.
Step 9: If you think it is take to long, then get yor alarm clock and set it to now so that it will ring and you can take it out.
Step 10: Take it out uv the uvin wen it is redy and go to bed. In the morning eat pizza and also eat yor hands bi mistake.

Failrace recently played this game, so we may get another small influx of new/returning members. I can't promise I'll come back for good (with revision and exams approaching), but I'll be hovering and lurking as I always have. However, for now, my builders block has been cured! :D
Here's the video link if anyone wants it:
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

For me it works for an hour then it crashes, if I ever try to start it up again it says I need python22.dll no matter how many times I download it or what folder I put it into.

Python22.dll is a file that randomly disappears sometimes.  Grab a new copy from the zip file in that main RA2 folder.

Ok i used to LOVE RA2 i couldn't get enough of it now I'm having trouble getting it to play. I still have the RA2 disc and i have transferred the whole game on to my laptop, but it says i need to enter the disc and i cant my (laptop doesnt have a place i can enter it). I would really like to get the DSL version but even when i download that and unRAR it i get the same problems. What should I do.

You can use stuff like VirtualBox I believe to create a virtual Windows environment to play it in.
