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.
