This worked for me after soooo long trying. If this doesn't work for anyone else, go through and find the resolution line and change it to your monitors resolution.
I had to change it from Resolution = 1024 768 to = 1920 1080 before it worked. Don't seem to be able to go online though.
i cannot find Command & Conquer Generals Data
neither Command & Conquer Generals Zero Hour Data
i looked everywhere it just DNE
is it the same as Command & Conquer Generals/Data?
