Maybe overheating problems causing graphics corruption? There seems to be a lot
of action going on in these shots, and Generals does tax the cooling system. If
you can find a situation where you can reproduce the problem repeatedly (e.g.
"it always does this 20 minutes into this replay") then try using super cooling
on your computer (take off the side pannel and stick a big housefan in front) to
see if overheating is the problem.

This is obvious but also do try updating Generals and your various drivers
(graphics card, AGP/chipset, etc.)
