Hi, I couldn't run CnC ZH on my computer for over a year. Once I upgraded to a faster computer with XP Pro- CnC just wouldn't run. (The previous working model was a XP Home with a GF4Ti card.) I'd get to the splash screen and then it would silently crash to the desktop with no error messages. I did two things which got it working. In the CnC folder - I clicked onto properties for the Generals.exe file and enabled them in compatbility mode to run in Win 2000. I also placed a new options.ini file into the CnC data directory located in My Documents. This was the data I used for the options.ini file. AntiAliasing = DrawScrollAnchor = GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0 Gamma = 50 IPAddress = 0.0.0.0 IdealStaticGameLOD = High LanguageFilter = false MoveScrollAnchor = MusicVolume = 55 Resolution = 800 600 Retaliation = yes SFX3DVolume = 79 SFXVolume = 71 ScrollFactor = 50 SendDelay = no StaticGameLOD = Low UseAlternateMouse = no UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no VoiceVolume = 70 I got this from DJDARE in another forum. Hope it helps you guys. http://forums.hexus.net/operating-systems-applications/99903-vista-command-conquer-generals-zero-hour-2.html
