After spending 2 - 3 days on and off (and most of today) i got the game running on Windows 10 x64.
After playing around with the driver, and it signature, enabling / disabling signature enforcement, i had the thought that the secdrv driver is actually related to the secure rom which is used to validate the disk and lock the game down (don't know how accurate that statement is.)
Anyway, it occured to me that if that was the case, the game might work with a no-cd patch, and indeed it does. And it plays very well. The no-cd patch is not something i would normally use, but in this case it seems like it is the only way to make the game work.
Recap:
- Clean install of Windows 10
- Clean install of C&C Generals (non-origin install, original CD)
- Install Zero Hour
- Updated to latest patch
- Used no-cd patch to bypass the secdrv driver error
- Game works!
Let me know if this works (or doesn't) for anyone else, or if you have other solutions.
I also tried running Generals ZH on Win 10, and it does nothing. I also own ALL of the C&C games, love them, and have been playing them. The ONLY ones that work for me is 3 (Kane's Wrath), and 4. Wish MSN would think about things like this instead of just looking at the money they make off of people, and FORCE companies like this one to make new games that come out then are not compatible with newer OS'. Hope there can be a fix for this problem rather soon cause I am really frustrated. Oh I also have trouble registering my games, and getting them into Origin, as it does not accept my CD Keys for registering through the automated system from launching the game, and/or from the website. Keeps giving me the not correct Key Code error. *sigh*
