Thankfully, I have Windows 7 x64 at home (I'm at work right now). I'm gonna email myself so that when I get home I can (hopefully) find my disks and try it out myself.
Things you'll want to try:
Right-click on the exe file
Compatibility tab
use XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility
check the "Disable Desktop Visual Themes" (I think that's what it's called, some programs have issues with Aero if you have it enabled)
check run as administrator
I'll be able to answer your question (hopefully) within 4-5 hours. Let me know if the above works. Thanks!
EDIT: I did a quick search on google and found this:

Quote:Ok guys, I got it to work. So, here is everything I did.
1. Go to your "C:\Users\{your name}\Documents\Command and Conquer
Generals Zero Hour Data" folder and open options.ini. I set the
following settings:
AntiAliasing = 0
DrawScrollAnchor =
FirewallBehavior = 0
GameSpyIPAddress = 192.168.0.1 (make sure you use your own IP)
Gamma = 50
IPAddress = 192.168.0.1 (make sure you use your own IP)
IdealStaticGameLOD = High
LanguageFilter = false
MoveScrollAnchor = 0
MusicVolume = 61
Resolution = 800 600
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 58
SFXVolume = 53
ScrollFactor = 60
SendDelay = no
StaticGameLOD = lOW
UseAlternateMouse = no
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
VoiceVolume = 70
This may or may not matter but do it anyway just to be sure.
2. right click on the .exe file that launches the game (or the shortcut
on your desktop), select "Properties", and set the following:
-under the "Shortcut" tab set Run: Maximized
-under the compatibility tab set Compatibility mode for "windows XP
service pack 2" but make sure you click it and make the check mark in
the box black, not grey.
-then, after you do the step above, click "Run this program as
administrator" and then click "Set these settings for all users" and
then apply everything, ok, etc.
The game should run now and the movie and sounds will play. Please let
me know if you have trouble.
Regards,
Rich
