    Now i am running Windows 7 x64 and after installation the program didnt run.

    so here is what you should do to make it run

     Make sure you have the latest DirectX 9.0c installed, you can Google it or get it from
    Microsoft
     make sure you have windows 7 service pack 1 at least installed!
     make sure you have the LATEST Graphic Drivers installed for your VGA Card and that meets
    the game's requirements!
     make sure that both Generals and Zero hour its on its latest patch version! TFD should be
    updated!
    (must be a clean installation no other MODS etc!)
     into your "user" directory (named with your user account yeah you know there where you
    see the folder my pictures, my music etc)
     in there go to "My Documents"
     well there after trying to run the game you would see a Command and Conquer Generals
    Zero Hour Data folder.
     open it.
     right click and creat new empty .TXT file and rename it options.ini
    (make sure you see the extension .txt and you dont end up having a stupid file named
    options.ini.txt!) if you dont know how to see the files extension in windows 7, google it or
    get an xbox to play
     now copy the following lines inside and Save it!

    **warning in the resolution section put your resolution*********


    ***also some LOD settings may not work with your VGA card! remove those lines if you cant run the
    game!****

    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

     then Right Click on your Generals / Zero hour Sortcut (if you dont have make one), in widows
    7 most games make there sortcuts into the "GAMES" menu in Start Menu
     and in the Compatibility Tab just select Windows XP sp3 and click "Run as administrator"
    option too (if you are not an admin)
     thats it go inside change your settings and restart the game.

    other alternative simplier solution:

     windows 7 x64 SP1 (service pack1 is crusial!)


     clean install of the game and patch to latest versions!
     change compatibility of the main .exe to Windows XP sp3 (so that the main menu
    shellmap works ok)
     run the game for 1st time and during this run go to setting and change everything
    you want! (besides resolution)
     then exit game and locate the options.ini i told you before in your Documents\
    Generals zrohour data\ folder
     change there only the resolution line to your screen's native. (ex Resolution = 1366
    768)
     save and rerun the game. you are done!

    All you need in the .ini file is the IdealStaticLOD line and the StaticGameLOD line. In fact, if you
    include all the lines from the post above, you are more likely to end up with an error.

    Way to make this thing work on an operating system that tries (unfortunately, cause i kinda like
    win7) to fight you the whole way:

    1. Add a Maps folder and the Options.ini file to ...\My Documents\Command & Conquer Generals
    (Zero Hour) Data\
    2. Install DirectX 9.0c from Microsoft.com
    3. Disable UAC (User Account Control - Generals/Zero Hour are most likely not compatible with UAC)
    4. Right click on generals.exe (this works on both) and click the compatibility tab
    5. Check all of the following:
    1. Run in compatibility mode (i ran it in WinXP w/SP3)
    2. Run as Administrator
    3. Disable Visual Styles (this disables the aero style of the Vista virus and win7).
    6. Save the changes and attempt to run the .exe
