Red Alert 3 [Normal Version]: Bad Image / Unable to Connect to Back End Server

• Command and Conquer: Red Alert 3
• Normal Version (associated/launched with Steam)
• Three issues:
  • "Bad Image" message when attempting to launch game from desktop icon
  • I had to try to launch the game several times before it would actually launch
  • While CNCOnline launcher is active, I attempt to log in using my server name and server password as prescribed by the instructions at https://www.cnc-online.net/en/setup/. After clicking "Log in" within Red Alert 3, I receive a message stating "Unable to connect to back end server"
