Doing them will result in the faliure to read the disk. In fact, you won't want to do them at all. As I have found so far, doing any of the fixes listed above will not work. My brother had the same problem on his PC. I have a HP i7, with 8 GB ram and 1GB video card (ATI Radeon HD 5570) and am running Win 7 Home Premium (64bit). I've seen a couple others have this problem, but as yet have not heard of a fix. The DVD is in the computer and it's a paid-for copy.
It gets to the TFD start screen and when I select a game (say, Generals), the splash screen shows up and then it asks to insert the DVD. I've tried the options.ini fix and all of the compatibility fixes. Well, I've not been able to get C&C TFD to run.
If they dont run, post back and ill try to figure out what i might have left out. Disable Visual Styles (this disables the aero style of the Vista virus and win7).Ħ. Run in compatibility mode (i ran it in WinXP w/SP3)ģ. Right click on generals.exe (this works on both) and click the compatibility tabġ. Disable UAC (User Account Control - Generals/Zero Hour are most likely not compatible with UAC)Ĥ. \My Documents\Command & Conquer Generals (Zero Hour) Data\Ģ. Add a Maps folder and the Options.ini file to. Way to make this thing work on an operating system that tries (unfortunately, cause i kinda like win7) to fight you the whole way:ġ. In fact, if you include all the lines from the post above, you are more likely to end up with an error. ini file is the IdealStaticLOD line and the StaticGameLOD line. I'm running windows 7 home edition as wellĪll you need in the. I just spent some time reviewing this problem.
exe to Windows XP sp3 (so that the main menu shellmap works ok)
txt and you don't end up having a stupid file named !) if you dont know how to see the files extension in windows 7, Google it or get an Xbox to play
(must be a clean installation no other MODS etc!)
make sure you have windows 7 service pack 1 at least installed!.Make sure you have the latest Direct-X 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get it from Microsoft.So here is what you should do to make it run Now i am running Windows 7 圆4 and after installation the program didn't run. Recently (12 August 2009) I installed from TFD, Generals Zero hour for some old good fights after i saw in you tube the Generals Trailer 1 at E3 that made me wanna revisit that game.
