but i cant get generals or zero hour to run.

 

hi, not sure how i found my way here,  but it was encouraging to see posts from this month so i thought i`d have a go at getting this running. (with your help please)

 

i`ve tried the patches, tried running it in compatibility mode (xp, sp1 and sp2 and vista)

i have generals, zero hour and the first decade, so whatever works.

i have a not very high spec windows 7 pc. i am ok at the basics, but thats about it.

 

i really miss playing this so if anyone can take the time i would be made up.

 

thanks in advance

Do you get any error message?

occasionally i get a box with "you have encountered a serious error" and a load of other dialogue about contacting ea,  but it more than lightly goes boing and defaults back to the first decade choice screen.

 

if its easier, i can just reinstall generals and zero hour instead of TFD?

so seem to have hit a brick wall.
