Dude, update your freaking graphics card drivers. They are up to Catalyst 3.7
now. http://download.sapphiretech.com/downloads/downloads.asp

Honestly, the #1 first thing any tech support guy will tell you is "do you have
the latest drivers?".

As for not being able to see something on the edge of the map, you could always
just rotate the view. The default view has the silos at the top of the screen
where they are easy to see. You must've rotated the camera for them to have been
at the bottom of the screen.

My System :
XP1700
Epox 8KTA3L+ (with 4.38 Via drivers)
512mb PC133
Sapphire 128mb 9100 (with 3.1 Catalysts)
SBLive (latest drivers from CLabs)
Windows 2000 Pro + SP4
My experience of Zero Hour:
serious error on trying to install - happened half a dozen times before I got it
installed.
crashed twice on USA mission 4 - black screen with looping sound.
screen refused to scroll to edge of map on USA 5 - had a lot of difficulty
capturing the top 2 rocket silos. got around it by selecting marines then
selecting capture building icon and then minimizing the menu panel - this
allowed me to see the bottom edge of the rocket silos.
ALL my other games run flawlessly - this is a copy of an email sent to EA UK
tech support - if I dont get some sort of decent reply this weekend
and continue to have problems this games going back to the shop. Incidentally I
checked some forums and the install problem is quite common.
Be warned if youre thinking of buying it.
regards
Ben
