@KingBenji4God

Are you running the game as administrator? It should be an option in the compatibility options.

As for DirectX... exactly what did you install? The DirectX version needed by the game is in fact not an 'update', but an older version which the current version doesn't seem to be entirely backwards compatible with. As far as I know, C&C Generals requires version 9.0c, from June 2010.

      hello @KingBenji4God

      If I may ask ... what did you have to change in the ini-file?

      Did you download directx from Microsoft's website?

      Can you also try installing directx from some older game you got on CD and or DVD?

      Don't forget to reboot 🙂

      Resolved issue C&C General & Zero hour for Windows 10 users.

      Open Installation folder for Origin games "Example"----> C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour.
      Inside Open either C&C General & Zero Hour folder ---> Find specific .dll file called dbghelp.dll select the file and delete it.

      Problem solved directX 8.1 Issue!
