I've just got generals and i've accidentally set the resolution to the
highest setting, which my monitor can't support.
I can't set the resolution setting back in the game. I've tried reinstalling
the game, but still no change.

If you could help me out I'd be very thankful.

Thanks in advance,

Raptor_Shadow

Go to your My Documents folder. Generals user information is stored in various
files under the "Command and Conquer Generals Data" subfolder.

To change your resolution, edit Options.ini. Specifically, you want to change
the line reading

Resolution = 1600 1200 (or whatever you set the resolution to by accident)
to something like
Resolution = 1024 768

Alternatively, you can just delete Options.ini and Generals will revert to its
defaults.

This tip also saved my Generals "career" when I mistakenly thought I could
push my system harder than it wanted.
