Ya, I know, here we go again.
Sorry to be flogging this dead horse again but...
I have Windows 7 SP1 freshly installed and fully updated except that I removed the Safe Disk patch.I read that this patch will cause a failure to launch the game so it's GONE.
I have installed the game as Admin. Compatibility set to Win XP 3 and exe set to run as Admin. Installed patch 1.08 for Generals and created the new options.ini file.
The dang thang is still crashing. Gets to the splash screen and says Game dat has stopped working and then Windows offers to look for a solution (Ha Ha)
Is the Command and Conquer Generals Data folder in Documents supposed to be empty because mine is except for the ini file I've created.
I was playing this game not three months ago on this PC. So any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks people. Wally

Greetings Wallus,
Welcome to microsoft customer support.
Have you tried restarting your computer?
Thanks.
Joking joking...
What did you put in the options.ini file? |

I've tried this and one other.
AntiAliasing = 1
BuildingOcclusion = yes
CampaignDifficulty = 0
DynamicLOD = yes
ExtraAnimations = yes
GameSpyIPAddress = 0.0.0.0
Gamma = 50
HeatEffects = yes
IPAddress = 0.0.0.0
IdealStaticGameLOD = Low
LanguageFilter = false
MaxParticleCount = 5000
MusicVolume = 55
Resolution = 1366 768
Retaliation = yes
SFX3DVolume = 79
SFXVolume = 71
ScrollFactor = 60
SendDelay = no
ShowSoftWaterEdge = yes
ShowTrees = yes
StaticGameLOD = Custom
TextureReduction = 0
UseAlternateMouse = yes
UseCloudMap = yes
UseDoubleClickAttackMove = no
UseLightMap = yes
UseShadowDecals = yes
UseShadowVolumes = yes
VoiceVolume = 70
I also tried the secdrv trick in command prompt before I removed the Microsoft KB patch. And, oh yes, I even restarted my computer (Smiley face here)

Doesn't work either. Crazy stuff.
The data folder under Program files has five folders in it. The data folder in Documents is empty. Is that normal?

I think it is.
Where did you get your generals from? |
