Execution of Command & Conquer Generals on Windows 7
I've recently updated my computer to Windows 7. I played this game before on this computer before the upgrade. I tried running the program compatibility and upgrade my DirectX. Y at - there a patch or something I could do to play this game? This is one of my favorites. Thank you.
Casey,
C & C Generals shows compatible with Windows 7. Make sure that all your drivers are up to date and try again. If you have a problem after updating all the drivers, then you must contact EA support to see if there is a patch\update for the game.

Cannot install the Command & Conquer 3 on Windows 7 64 bit - error interrupted installation
I can't C & C3 to install...
I bought the C & C3 EA store download edition earlier and decided last night that I wanted to play, so I went to install it... the installation program starts, I have chosen to install, accepted the EULA and then click Next. The installation fails almost immediately, saying "& Command Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars install interrupted".
so, to rule out other problems, I tried on the 32 bit XP partition I have on my computer and got the same error.
today I reinstalled windows 7 and windows xp 32-bit on my machine, just in case there was something installed that could interfere (e.g. daemon tools) but no luck.
I lost a lot of time googling, scouring the forums and the only solutions I found were to copy the installation files on the dvd, which does not apply to me since I downloaded the game from the EA store or install the latest version of windows install manually (but windows 7 do not use the latest version by default?) or rename the windows installation folder and then run the installation of the game to 'force' of windows to get the latest version... of course, none of them have worked for windows 7 and I have not tried to update installshield on XP yet...can anyone help at all?
God, I feel like such a fool now...
the problem has been solved...
the proxy executable installation provided by the EA Download Manager (required to install and run the game) was killed before so Setup was not detect the protection against copying and wasn't.
the offending process was a poorly programmed utility I run to automatically perform certain tasks repeatedly during the day, so what a completely clean install without anything more pilots and evaluating environmental Manager download the source of the problem has been discovered...
the offending service program has been brutally murdered and that I write this post, the installation of C & C3 just succeeded...Thanks for trying to help Chris. B
Kind regards.

Original title: Command and Conquer Generals error? Some one care to help?
So now I'm a little disappointed in how things are going right now.
I had Command and Conquer Generals before and I used to read. Bug of the game problems are forcing me to remove it. To make things worse, my PC has been infected with malware/spyware that sneak their way inside my C & C Generals App. I did a full scan using Spy Bot Search & Destroy alongside with MalwareBytes Anti-Malware.
Then, I tried to re - download and installed a CLEAN one. However, when it loads the classic C & C Splash Screen(the loading page that appears before the game turns into a full screen app), another windows appears and displays this:
"TECHNICAL PROBLEMS".
"Sorry, a serious error has occurred."After the application closes, and happens whenever I start the game.
Can someone help me?
I don't know what's happened since she was working before.
I do weekly maintenance using Auslogics Boost Speed 5 and Systweak Advanced System Optimizer 3.
System Specs:
Microsoft Windows XP SP3
Intel Pentium IV CPU 2.00 GHZ
256 RAM
Radeon 7000 / Radeon VE Family (Microsoft Corporation)Every effort to answer my question will be much, much, much appreciated!
I'll make sure that you have all the patches that are underway for the game Command and Conquer Generals.
http://www.GameSpot.com/PC/strategy/commandconquergenerals/downloads.htmlIf you have access to a library and a flash drive, you can download Microsoft Security Essentials or any other antivirus disk analysis software and then install on your computer even if you do not have access to the internet.
This will help make sure that you have cleaned your computer properly.A system restore back to a point in time so if you have installed all new programs since the date of the restoration of the system, you won't have any more of these programs installed.
I don't know any other software in system restore, but you can do a search on the internet, however, they can only restore from when their software is installed.
I hope this helps.

It of the message, can someone help me?
Hi BigAl3000,
Please note that Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 is the only version compatible with Windows 7.
Red Alert 2 and red alert are not compatible with Windows 7.
See Windows 7 compatibility for Command & Conquer: Red Alert for more information.
To troubleshoot program compatibility issues in Windows 7, try the following methods:
Method 1: Open the program compatibility problems
Most programs written for Windows Vista are also running Windows 7, but some older programs might run poorly or not at all. If an older program does not work, use the program compatibility issues to simulate the behavior of earlier versions of Windows.
Method 2: Contact the program vendor or the hardware manufacturer
Contact the program vendor for advice on how to solve the problem. In general, the software vendor's Web site provides a support section that you can use, for example, to search for an error message that you receive from the program.
Hope this information helps.
