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
