Hardware

I have installed Generals and try to run it, but after reaching the second splash screen, the game just returns to the desktop.

Any fixes?

yep you have to run it as administrator at first(not comp-ability mod tho) then put this file in your generals data folder(in my documents)and just change the resolution to yours!

Great, thanks!

Change it to windows XP sp3 too.

you don't need to actually works fine

Hey. got the same problem. Starts up, then at 2nd loading screen, it stops working. Tried what you did, except changin res. How do i do that?

see the file i gave you!..

okay edit it to your resolution by changing the value of "Resolution = 1280 1024"

to whatever resolution you need!.. you can find your resolution by right clicking > properties > display usually!:)

Thanks! I know you were replying to someone else's question, but this fixed it for me, too. I already had that file on the computer, so I just had to change the resolution field in it. I had been checking drivers, DirectX, patches, and everything else I could think of, and it was driving me crazy. Now it works great.

Thanks again!

no problem man!

When I open the generals he writes to me "serious problem". What to do. I have Windows 7
and in my old computer (windows xp) it works. What to do?

first try running as administrator. if that fails try running it in compatibility mode for xp service pack 2 or 3.

Well, it does not show the message but it only shows a small window and not open the game

yes, but did you try doing what i suggested?

Yes I changed it to windows 98/me

It still does not work!

No matter it works

well i have this problem aswell, i have a windows 7 64 bit computer, amd phenom II x6 1100T processor 3.30 ghz, 16gb of ram memory 2.2T disk memory. And as my video card i have a Nividea Gforce GTX 580.

All the errors above are when the game is trying to get started while mine just starts perfectly, afther about 30 mins ingame it crashes and gives me an error: You have encountered a serious error, serious errors can be caused by manny things bla bla bla virus (dont have any) overheated (impossible) etc etc.

All this above is for Generals Zero Hour, Generals itself (command and conquer Generals) works perfectly without any trouble.

Please help me fix this since zero hour is slightly more fun then generals.

Please post anny possible fixes in terms everyone can understand (im not a computer genius)

Use the newest hardware drivers only.

You might be just unlucky to have a components combo that colapses when running Generals.

Stop playing ZH and play CCG.
