Vista/32 multiplayer/ online issues with C&C Zero Hour.
Where to start.
Zero Hour and Generals run perfect, except;
When I join a custom match/ quick match and try to join the mulitplayer game by clicking "accept", I never connect to anything. I can't play online at all. I then have to CTRL/ALT/Del out of the game and restart the game.
-I applied everything as "Mr_A1" recommended.
-I tried the file "Kane lives in death" recommended.
-Running both Generals and Zero Hour in compatability mode for XP SP2.
-Running everythng as Admin.
-Made exceptions in Firewall/ disabled fire wall.
-No spyware or viruses, turned off all anti virus and spyware security systems.
-Removed Windows Defender. (what a chore).!!
-Removed User Account Control. (What a chore)!.
Everything worked great on my old XP PC, when I bought this new machine and reinstalled with Vista 32 Home Premioum, I simply can't connect to any online matches but I can play single player, and it works fine.
My computer is upper/mid end gamer, two GTS 8800's, Core 2 Duo 2.4, 2 gig ram, etc, etc. My boy and I play ALL "Steam" games COD 4, DOD: S, Orange Box, and.. MOH: Aiborne, all run great and I can play all the other online games I have perfect but ........C&C Generals Zero Hour "Online".
Any more help would be great, I would really like to get this going, my boy and I liked this game.
Sincerely, Pern.
