Try re installing RA2, because it does something weird if you don't check the "register for internet" box for RA2/renegade.

that link is no longer in use. it just sends you to there home website. i seem to have a problem kinda like this. i just reinstalled generals zero hour because it wouldnt patch...

it still just tries to find file 65540_65536_english.rtp after about 30 seconds it says not such file and closes out.

i have 56k dial-up is it that or is there something else... and is there some way to get around it because it wont get online

That link does not take you to the Generals website, it just takes to Command and Conquer 4: Tiberium Twilight. Is there another website available?

A bit late I'm sure, but in case others have the same question, the latest Generals and Zero Hour patches can be found here:
