I can't find anyway how to fix this issue I"m having.
I bought the collection of all the C&C. I specifically want to play Tiberian 4: twlight.
I login my user and password correctly. Then it asks to put in the key to register. I do so and it says its already in use. Sounds to me like Origin and the EA launcher for the game aren't in sync. Both Origin and EA has the same login for me so I'm not sure whats wrong. Again no where EASY to find how to fix this. So if anyone can repost some help here would be awesome.
ZERO HOUR
Registry is corrupt and has been altered
How to fix:
1. Open the Registry Editor by typing "regedit" at the bottom of the start menu, in the search box ( windows 7)
2. navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Electronic Arts -> EA Games -> Generals]-> ergc
3. check that your product key is shown there as a value for REG_SZ
4. copy and paste your product key to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Electronic Arts -> EA Games -> Command and Conquer Generals Zero Hour -> ergc
tip: you can get your product key by opening up Origin -> My Games -> Generals -> info window

I KEEP GETTING AN ERROR MESSAGE THAT READS "UNABLE TO SET VIDEO MODE" FOR ANY OF THE COMMAND AND CONQUER GAMES IN THE ULTIMATE COLLECTION I JUST PURCHASED
I have tried everything in this forum except installing the unofficial patch. When I attempt install the patch, it tells me that it can't find the game folder even though I have selected the game folder in the options.
Kind of upset that it didn't say that these games weren't compatible with windows 7 before I purchased the pack...
