Dude, you have crazy recording talent. You actually have good quality videos and not much lag, you deserve more subs so I shared, liked, subbed and everything else. Keep doing you, and we'll keep doing us.

@joesmithery6000 9 лет назад

My dear friend, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution. Suddenly the game just starts working as i place the options folder in. It is a great thing that God made some people like you.

@nokcternal8007 9 лет назад

Thanks dude. I looked up the problem I was having and before I found your video, I was reading through some forums online and the ways that they recommend fixing it where really long winded and complicated. By far the easiest way I've seen and works.

@RaisingD401 9 лет назад

Hey Zevex big heads up for your time and effort in helping fix this, second option worked for me ,) really appreciate it!! Got a good game back finally!

@raivismauglis4907 8 лет назад

@harryrule5098 5 лет назад

Hi, a few years late, can anyone explain any reason why my "command & conquer generals Data" folder has not installed or is atleast not easily visible in 'search' or in 'documents'? Cheers :)

@Draxlar 9 лет назад

I looked everywhere for the solution to this problem and I knew about this "options.ini" file and where to put them, but none of them worked. I guess none of them were configured properly. Thank you so much for making it possible for me to play this awesome game once again on my new computer. It's still my favorite strategy game after all these years. Thank you!

@justinyogianders6244 9 лет назад

Thanks for making this!!! the options.ini file creation worked for me!

@ryanchelberg4993 9 лет назад

Thanks for the video. I got my Generals and Zero Hour going on Win 7 Pro 64-Bit. A couple things to add that may help others who are struggling... 1) When you create the NEW TEXT FILE, don't immediately save it as "options.ini". Leave it with the generic name. Then, when you have pasted in the content, go to "File>Save As..." change it to "File Type>All Files and name it "options.ini". Win 7 Pro wouldn't change it from standard text file to .ini file even when you told it to overwrite. 2) I caught myself typing "option.ini" without the "s" and obviously didn't work. Be careful when you type it in. This should be a fairly simple process but it was really easy to make stupid little mistakes along the way. Great Video! Thanks again!

@pascalbruins 9 лет назад

You deserve a medal. I had this problem for a few years now, every now and than i would try to fix it but it never worked. Thanks to you and your first advise i'm able to play it. Great advise! Thanks again!

@murphyloi 9 лет назад

AWESOME, thank you very much for the help m8, love this game and couldn't play it on Windows 7. It didn't work with just "compatibility mode" option, it does work now after adding your "options" file. Thanks again and see you on the battlefield:)

@TTFNiNjA 8 лет назад

i dont have "command and conquer generals data" but i have the files in my c: like you... can anyone help?

@peter2f6 8 лет назад

Super great insight!!! Thank you so much, Zevex!!!! I had to include instructions from other suggestions to get my final working solution. 5 things, in this order, need to happen as of December 2015 when installing CnC generals from the original two disc set onto Win7 64: ****This assumes all CNC files have been removed and uninstalled completely**** 1. Uninstall windows update KB3086255. This prevents old game CDs from booting 2. install from the CnC Generals original two disc set. 3. Adjust the compatibility settings to run under WinXPSP2 4. Start the program to find the error pop up. This creates the necessary folder for .ini file to be placed in next. 5. Create and place the options.ini file to the location as provided and instructed in this video tutorial. You might consider installing the 1.08 patch after you have successfully worked this solution to a bootable level.

@afg2987 3 года назад

Where did you get the c&c generals data folder. I dont have it in my pc. Please help

@brettd1017730 8 лет назад

Gidday, you seem pretty clued up, do you know solution for this generals zero hour problem. My problem seems to be different, I install it all no problems and have changed compatibility to XP(service pack 3) and set to run as administrator. When I then try and load the game a pop up appears saying "do you want to allow file to make changes to computer" i click yes then the cursor spins as its loading then then nothing happens. also i tried your second option but when i click on "my documents" there is not a file for command and conquer for me to paste options.ini into

@shervin202020 9 лет назад

@johnbagis4486 8 лет назад

@Saphyyy 9 лет назад

Thx Dude, i tried different things to fix this. But finally, it works. Damn options.ini folder :o

@raktorlarros5621 9 лет назад

Thank you very much. We had the options file in the wrong place. Now it works.

@xio2070 9 лет назад

You are very welcome. Glad you got the game running :D

@xio2070 9 лет назад

A common issue is that people put the options.ini file is the wrong spot or that people spell it option.ini which wouldn't work in either case. Make sure you have a legal copy of the game and that you are starting from a clean install. try repeating the the steps and also make sure you are using the disk. i would also try running the game offline. sometimes older games have issues with internet self checks after the company stops supporting them.

@joeghorayeb2428 8 лет назад

Thanks a lot dude, this tutorial is really helpful... I can enjoy playing the game now on Windows 7 finally!!

@charlieshaw1500 6 лет назад

Thank you both fixes were very simple and didn't take long. very good for finding the solution, a missing file. You are a G. (G for god not G for gansta)

@NosyVoldemort 9 лет назад

@annatsukiya 9 лет назад

Zevex Zybez I have problem with scrolling during gameplay which I can't scroll to the left on both Generals & Generals Zero Hours in Window 7... I found out that there's a narrow window gap on the left... when I click that gap, it goes back to desktop and minimized the game.. How can I solve this scrolling issue?

@xio2070 9 лет назад

annatsukiya Playing the game in windowed mode will result in scrolling issues. The game can't translate the mouse motion as well when windowed mode in on. I would play in full screen. if your playing in windowed mode for live streaming (Such as Twitch) i would recommend OBS. they have a great full scream streaming support. Hope this helps :D

@Diablo_Himself 8 месяцев назад

@Stevesalmonuk 8 лет назад

Thanks for for the video. I've tried both options (including a clean re-install and using your options.ini which I downloaded) but it doesn't seem to work (for me): When I try to launch Generals (right-click, run as administrator), the system asks if I want to allow changes to be made to the system, to which I click "yes". Then, nothing happens... PLEASE help if you can; this is one of my favorite games

@CidSilverWing 9 лет назад

@lotteryluckfaction5473 9 лет назад

Hey i need your help. Cuz mine says Error Please insert the correct CD-ROM, select ok and restart application

@cornwall2186 9 лет назад

Ok, I used your options.ini - seems to have eliminated the serious error. However, it has altered my game play somewhat. For instance, my preferred army is the Air Force General. Now when I play, the Carpet Bombing option is no longer available. Any ideas on how to restore that?

@xio2070 9 лет назад

Beets me dude. I have no idea why that would happen. If it was caused by my file you could go into the options.ini file with notepad++ and change any of the settings there. hope this helps. I think that it has nothing to do with my file.

@henryg6764 8 лет назад

Hey, I managed to get my game to work but my cursor/mouse is invisible, and the sound doesn't work. I looked up this issue and couldn't find any solutions. Making the mouse work is my main concern here. Does anyone have a solution or any suggestions on what I should try? Note: I tried running it in EVERY compatibility mode offered and the problem persisted. This problem is also in both C&C Generals and C&C Zero Hour Edit: I tried playing the game without the mouse. The green square was visible when selecting multiple units, and I could control stuff that I clicked on. The waypoint circle that shows where the troops are going works. Still can't see the mouse. I tried running it in windowed mode, and discovered that the mouse works outside of the game window, but as soon as I hover the cursor over the game windows it disappears.

Hi, my game won't launch, going through your video a realize i don't have the folder in the "Libraries" any ways to fix this? I have reinstalled the game various times. Thanks

@eminem3164 8 лет назад

+Ross D If it's not in your libraries then it could be somewhere else, when you install the game it asks you where you want to save the folders so check to see where it says the folders are going
