Hey presto! It worked, debunking the myth that C&C Generals will not run on 64 bit systems (as some people have been saying). I used the "Change settings for all users" button at the bottom and changed to Windows XP (SP3), as well as Then change the game's compatibility mode by right clicking on the game in the start menu, clicking on properties and then the Compatibility tab. It might also be worth making sure no files are "Read-Only" in that folder. Now the key bits - firstly, make sure that you have full read/write permissions for the Command and Conquer Generals Data folder - do this by right clicking on the folder, then properties then the security tab and change the permissions for all users. This is simply how the game remembers what options you picked (music volume, brightness and the like) and you can change them once the game is running using the options menu. Then save the file as 'options.ini'īefore you save, paste this text into the file to get you started:
However, you must click 'save as' and change the type drop-down box from text file (.txt) to 'all files'. Using notepad and save it into this folder. In 'My Documents' (usually at C:\users\YOURNAME\documents) there should be a folder named 'Command and Conquer Generals Data' or 'Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data', which was put there when you installed the game. Good News - Have just successfully managed to get it working, and it IS Windows 7 that causes the problem, specifically it's to do with access permissions to folders - Windows 7 blocks access to folders that Generals uses to run. I have a core i5 laptop running windows 7 home premium 64-bit with an ATI graphics card and I had exactly the same problems getting C&C Generals and Zero Hour to work. This I found on another page and thought I would share it here as it worked for me. I FOUND THIS POSTED BY SOME GENIUS CALLED DARKRAJIN AND IT WORKS ON GENERALS AND GENERALS ZERO HOUR
