I am extremely doubhtful that anyone here will be able to help me, but it is the last course of action I can think to take, so I may as well try it.
A few days ago I installed zero hour + generals at the same time. I immediately played zero hour and it worked fine. A few days later when I opened it it would say it encountered a serious error and close, however it would only say this the first time i tried to open it, and simply running the application again it would run as normal.
Today for some reason though, it stopped opening, completely. Id click open and nothing would happen, i can manually run autorun and the options come up, but when i click play the options go away and then nothing else happens. Ive tried repairing/re-installing the game, installing in a different folder to program files.
Ive tried creating the options.ini file. (extension is fine)
Ive downgraded my version of direct x to 9c.
I have the file to run as administrator with windows xp service pack.
Hardware acceleration is as it should be.
User account control is off.
These are all the solutions I coud find, and none of them have changed anything.
The weirdest thing is that the game did work, i didnt make any system changes, and now it doesnt.
Generals also does not work.
Now, I may have found the problem: in the EZ.exe application located in the support folder on the disc, scrolling over to requirements i can see that the game thinks i dont meet the reuirements in two areas:
windows version and memory.
It detects my windows version as windows NT, it is 7 home premium
It detects the memory avaiable as -220mb, i have 4gb (assuming this is talking about ram and not video card memory) with 1400 listed as available and 100 as free at the moment ccording to task manager.
But i have no idea how to fix this problem.
