Now i am running Windows 7 x64 and after installation the program didn't run.

so here is what you should do to make it run


Make sure you have the latest Direct-X 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get
it from Microsoft
make sure you have windows 7 service pack 1 at least installed!
make sure you have the LATEST Graphic Drivers installed for your VGA Card and th
at meets the game's requirements!
make sure that both Generals and Zero hour its on its latest patch version! TFD
should be updated!
(must be a clean installation no other MODS etc!)
into your "user" directory (named with your user account yeah you know there whe
re you see the folder my pictures, my music etc)
in there go to "My Documents"
well there after trying to run the game you would see a Command and Conquer Gene
rals Zero Hour Data folder.
open it.
right click and create a new empty .TXT file and rename it options.ini
(make sure you see the extension .txt and you don't end up having a stupid file
named options.ini.txt!) if you dont know how to see the files extension in windo
ws 7, Google it or get an Xbox to play :P
now copy the following lines inside and Save it!
**warning in the resolution section put your resolution*********
***also some LOD settings may not work with your VGA card! remove those lines if
you cant run the game!****

*********
AntiAliasing = 1
BuildingOcclusion = yes
CampaignDifficulty = 0
DynamicLOD = yes
ExtraAnimations = yes
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
HeatEffects = yes
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
LanguageFilter = false
MaxParticleCount = 5000
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 1366 768
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 60
SendDelay = no
ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
ShowTrees = yes
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TextureReduction = 0
UseAlternateMouse = yes
UseCloudMap = yes
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
UseLightMap = yes
UseShadowDecals = yes

UseShadowVolumes = yes
VoiceVolume = 70

**********
then Right Click on your Generals / Zero Hour shortcut (if you don't have make o
ne), in Widows 7 most games make there shortcuts into the "GAMES" menu in Start
Menu
and in the Compatibility Tab just select Windows XP SP3 and click "Run as admini
strator" option too (if you are not an admin)
that's it go inside change your settings and restart the game.
other alternative simpler solution:
windows 7 x64 SP1 (service pack1 is crucial!)
clean install of the game and patch to latest versions!
change compatibility of the main .exe to Windows XP sp3 (so that the main menu s
hellmap works ok)
run the game for 1st time and during this run go to setting and change everythin
g you want! (besides resolution)
then exit game and locate the options.ini i told you before in your Documents\Ge
nerals Zero Hour data\ folder
change there only the resolution line to your screen's native. (ex Resolution =
1366 768)
save and rerun the game. you are done!
Have fun that's an order!
