To change the file type from .gib to .big you first need to make sure you can see the file extensions by going Tools, Folder Options, under the View tab, scroll down until you see Hide extensions for known file types and untick the box. Then hit OK. Now all you need to do is rename the files changing only the .gib to .big.

I have done this, run the launcher as an admin, and then it shows the error message, and the files revert to .gib files. Does anyone know how I can make them stay as .big?

Once you have renamed them to big files, don't use the launcher. Run the game directly from the Zero Hour shortcut and the mod should work.

I did changing the .gib files to .big files, then I proceeded to run the game directly from the ZH shortcut but it still doesn't work. It keeps showing the 'serious error' message again everytime. Please help.

This is a list of *.big files that belong to vanilla Zero Hour + Shockwave. If you see any other *.big files that are different from the list, then they are part of other installed mods and you need to rename them to *.gib or something, or move them out of Zero Hour installation folder to prevent the error. After that, just launch the game from generals.exe shortcut (not from Shockwave launcher).

Hi sorry to be a pain but I looked at all and I noticed I don't have one of them and that is PatchZH.big and I think this isn't allowing me to open my game because of it is there something I can do to fix?

This probably means that you didn't patch your ZH to version 1.04
