C&C generals directx error

This is how i fixed the Direct X error on my PC.

OS Name: Microsoft Windows 11 Enterprise
System Type: x64-based PC
Processor: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-1135G7 @ 2.40GHz, 2419 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)
Installed Physical Memory (RAM): 16,0 GB

I have this game for a long, long time, and i had 4 or 5 times this directX error. I had solved all the other times, and since this isn't frequent, i forget everytime how i solved it. 🙂
so, this is also to put a reminder for me and to share to others my solution to my PC.

I've tried to re-install the directX with no success, and also made all the suggestions in this post, all with no success.
Then i tried to recall the last thing that i did on the game before this error poped up (i was trying some AI bots...) then i recalled i changed the resolution settings of the game, and that made me a click, a "dejá vu" thing... 🙂

Problem: where to find the config file with the resolution settings...

There are two files "options.ini".

One, in the game installation path (mine is: C:\Jogos\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour) -> this one didn't wok

The other one, is where the games are saved (mine is: C:\Users\XXX\Documents\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data) -> this one worked

Solution:
What you need to do, is edit the options.ini file and change the resolution to a lower screen size.

I lowered mine to:
Resolution = 1400 1050

After that, the game runs without any problems, and you can change in the game the screen settings again to a better resolution for your PC.
