before starting: i recommend C & C Generals Zero Hour...it's an addon but wayyyyy better and greeater.\n\nfor your problem : enter options. somewhere in the upper half (i think) there's a part related to graphics where it's set to automatic. Click on the downward arrow and click custom.\n\na new window will appear having different aspects related to the game. i prefer cancelling all but the heat effects, and reduce the particle and the terrain resolutions. \n\ni think this will solve your problem or else you must have some system limitations.\nto be on the safe side, open the C & C Generals directory and open the folder "go-EZ". open the executable file and it will compare your system resources to the system recommendations.

Start --> control panel --> system --> advanced tab --> performance.  Change virtual memory.\n\nBut first I would do a disk clean up and defrag (start --> all programs --> accessories --> system tools --> disk cleanup and after completed, defrag.)

you can still run your game or infact any software. Jus follow these instructions:\n\n1. Install the software.\n2. In the "Program Files" folder find the executible file that starts the software.\n3. Right Clik on it and goto\nProperties>>Compatibility \nCheck on compatibility mode and choose your operating system.\n\nNow your software will work as if it was workin on Windows 98 or 95.

Great question by the way and it's always good to ask first before just jumping in there and taking chances on something that may ruin your windows operating system. Just so you'll know, this would have been your case if you hadnt asked. The cmd.exe file is one of your computers main system files that make it work. You CAN NOT remove this file from your system. The &#92;sun&#92;appServer&#92;domains file is your main Java file that allows you to play online games along with thousands of other applications and without problems. As an example, I shoot a lot of Yahoo Pool. When I shoot the ball, I expect to see it roll smoothly across the table (easy transition) and not be jerky and ruining the game for me. This cannot be done without help from your Java and DirectX program. Java is owned by the Sun Corp and of course DirectX is one of the most important system files that's supplied by Microsoft Corp. If you continue to have problems with it, let me know and I'll be happy to help you solve the problems. Larry RadioShack 01-9590

Try and use an IDE if you can. Or switch to linux for programming, you wont have to use getch() or pause :)

you got to have a self-executable autorun file loaded in CD.\n\nNero / Roxio can help you do that !

I highly endorse what Scott and Daniel said, but also like Goswin said, if you can muster up some geek courage you might also try a different operating system.  Try a Linux varient, several of them are really easy to install, load desktop environments by default and have decent compatibility with the hardware you're probably running.  And they don't bog down your computer.  Ubuntu and Red Hat both come to mind.

Firstly check on the cmedia website. If you get frustrated check driver-guide.com

No.  Just Generals takes up more than a gig.  Zero Hour takes up 1.2+ gigs.  Sorry.

hang results from not enough ram or too many progs in the start up group...run regedit and folloe this tree...local machine, software, microsoft, windows, current version, run..also look at any key beginning with run...knock it all out by deleting the keys....then run msconfig and get rid of everything.  then go to control panel, admin tools, and select services...click on start up type andsee what is auto starting...start turning auto services off that seem worrisome to you...  reboot after each change...this should fix it

Hard reset.\nReformat the cpu and start over.\n(back up any documents you'd like).\n\nthat's the easiest, least ocmplicated way.

This are the system requirements:\n    * Windows XP, ME, 98, 95 and 2000 (2000 Server and NT are not supported)\n    * 500 MHz processor\n    * 128 MB RAM\n          o 256 MB for Windows XP and Windows 2000\n    * CD/DVD-Rom Speed: 16x\n    * At least 1.2 GB of additional hard drive space\n    * Sound: DirectX 8.1 compatible sound card\n    * Keyboard\n    * MS compatible Mouse\n    * Controllers are not supported by this title\n    * A video card with at least 32 MB of video RAM with DirectX 8.1 compatible driver and one of the supported chipsets.\n\nSupported video cards:\n\n    * Nvidia GeForce 256 or Higher\n    * ATI Radeon or Higher\n    * Matrox G400\n    * Matrox Parhelia\n\nAdditionally, the following specifications are required for multiplayer:\n\n    * One set of game discs per player.\n    * Internet Exlporer 6.0 or higher \n    * 56Kbps or faster direct Internet connection is supported\n    * DSL or Broadband connection is recommended \n\n\nThese next steps are settings that can be changed inside the game itself.\n\n    * You can also change the video settings:\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Video. \n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always run the game with video settings set to "LOW".\n          o From the Video menu select Texture Quality and experiment with the slider in order to find the best setting for your computer.\n          o You can also try lowering the Graphics Quality and Effect Quality in order to meet your machines level of performance.\n          o You can uncheck the Shadows check box. This will prevent the game from creating dynamic shadows for soldiers and vehicles and should improve performance.\n          o Try unchecking the Lightmaps check box. This will prevent the game from adding detailed shadows on the buildings, which should improve your performance.\n          o You can also uncheck the Environmental Mapping check box. This will remove the environmental effects on water, vehicles and weapons. This should improve your performance.\n          o Also from the Video menu, try to reduce your View Distance in order to increase performance. This will impact on gameplay since your opponents will see you before you can spot them.\n          o Try checking the Alternative Spawn Interface which will give you a black background when you bring up the spawn interface while playing instead of keeping the game view in the background. This improves the mouse sense in that menu on slower machines.\n          o Try reducing your Video Resolution to 640x480 in the Video menu. The lower the resolution, the easier it is for your computer to run the game.\n          o From the Video menu you can try to lower your Color Depth from 32 to 16 bit by picking your desired resolution with the color depth of 16 (800x600x16).\n\n    * You can try adjusting the sound settings.\n          o To reach the video settings:\n                + From the Main Menu select Options.\n                + Select Sound.\n          o You can try to lower your audio quality by checking the 11khz checkbox.\n          o Also test with lowering the number of channels used to 24 or 16.\n          o Systems with 128MB of RAM should always use 11khz.\n          o You can try to lower your sound detail to Medium or Low. This will prioritize sounds harder so that only the core sounds of the game get played.\n          o From the Sound menus second page you can activate Hardware Acceleration given that your soundcard supports this. This should improve your performance.\n\n\nupdate your drivers thats the first thing you should do:\nhttp://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_93.71.html\n\nHere you will find the latest drivers for your card\n\n\nAnd if all this doesnt help conntact EA games tehnical support by clicking this link:\n\nhttp://uk.electronicarts.se/pages/3673/\n\nI hope this will help \n\nGood luck

Well I dont know above answer.\n\nBut I found you looking for questions related to testing and Winrunner so I thought following link could help you.
