"You have been defeated"

That's the message I get after [trying] to play after 30 seconds or so. All
my units are destroyed and the game ends.

Now, I reckon this is an anti piracy feature but I can't figure out how to
get around it. Oops, that's going to attract some flamers, let me explain
why I'm not a pirate....

I bought the game the day it was released, I lent it to my dad after
completing the single player missions and uninstalled it from my machine. He
lost CD 2 so now HE can run it but I can't reinstall (a plot to keep the
game for himself IMO).
So, I have copied the Generals directory from his computer and also copied
the reg keys and updated the key value that referenced the game location. I
put CD 1 in my computer and start up the game, it all seems fine but I just
can't play for longer than about 30 seconds.

This is especially annoying as I've just bought Zero Hour and can't play it
until this is working.

Any ideas on how to fix/get around this? Obviously, excluding "buy another
copy".

Thanks,
