I see two problems.

First of all, with a GeForce 4 or earlier card, you should use the 45.23 driver
version, and not the latest 50.xx driver versions which are optimised for
GeForce FX cards and newer and have known issues with older cards.

Second of all, there is in fact a savegame folder, but you didn't notice it. It
is in \My Documents\Command and Conquer Generals\ (for Generals) and \My
Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour\ (for ZH). These folders
contains savegames, options, profiles, replays, and downloaded maps. See
http://www.planetcnc.com/generals/help/faq.shtml#backup and
http://www.planetcnc.com/generals/zerohour/help/faq.shtml#backup for more
details about these two folders.

Thirdly, you must patch up both Generals and Zero Hour. Note that the patches
are maintained independently e.g. patch 1.07 for Generals does not affect Zero
Hour in the slightest.
