I've been trying to get my Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour working on W7 64bit Home, yet I've been trying every fix I've googled and no luck so far. Every time I attempt to boot the game it just crashes on the load screen. I tried reinstalling with two different CD's disks to rule them out. I've tried the fix where I go into the .exe properties and change the compatablity mode to XP service pack 2 then at the same point I recieved an error warning that the files may be virused or hardware overheating or what ever if my system doesn't meet the requirements - which obviously thats BS. After installing VIA torrent and changing to XP service pack 2 compatablity, changing the short cut to boot in Maximised it's just now saying a serious error has occured. I've tried uninstalling my DVD RW software as I've heard some people get problems with it - but would it require a fresh reinstall for it to register it's not there? Any help? Thanks.
not sure if this will help you or not but i have had trouble getting it work on my 64bit vista install. I had to run a tool that would change the affinity mask on the exe so it only runs on one core. Maybe try that. I think the tool was called something like imgconfig or something like that.
That wasn't a bad idea to be honest, disabled to run at one core but nope =/ same errors. Cheers though.
